Second Annual National Leadership Summit on CER Priorities, Methods, and Policy:
Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities in Using CER to Improve Evidence Generation and Care for Cardiovascular Disease
The
Second Annual National Leadership Summit on
Comparative Effectiveness Research Priorities, Methods and Policy will bring together leading experts and
stakeholders in cardiovascular disease and comparative effectiveness research (CER)
to identify the challenges and explore the opportunities to use CER to improve
evidence generation and translation in the realm of cardiovascular
disease. Meeting proceedings are
intended to provide input to the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute
(PCORI) and other CER organizations as they determine how to implement
CER principles and methods and translate them into large research portfolios
and programs. To facilitate this
discussion, sessions will highlight
current and emerging issues in the investigation, diagnosis, treatment and
payment issues related to cardiovascular care and CER. Sessions are designed to be highly interactive,
with each comprised of a cross section of stakeholder points of view—researchers,
patients, clinicians, payers, regulators, and policymakers.
Breakout sessions will foster discussion by smaller groups on a range of
specialized topics.
