This publication is provided for historical reference only and the information may be out of date.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), through its Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs), sponsors the development of evidence reports and technology assessments to assist public- and private- sector organizations in their efforts to improve the quality of healthcare in the United States. This report was requested and funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). The reports and assessments provide organizations with comprehensive, science-based information on common, costly medical conditions and new healthcare technologies. The EPCs systematically review the relevant scientific literature on topics assigned to them by AHRQ and conduct additional analyses when appropriate prior to developing their reports and assessments.
To bring the broadest range of experts into the development of evidence reports and health technology assessments, AHRQ encourages the EPCs to form partnerships and enter into collaborations with other medical and research organizations. The EPCs work with these partner organizations to ensure that the evidence reports and technology assessment they produce will become building blocks for healthcare quality improvement projects throughout the Nation. The reports undergo peer review prior to their release.
AHRQ expects that the EPC evidence reports and technology assessments will inform individual health plans, providers, and purchasers as well as the healthcare system as a whole by providing important information to help improve healthcare quality.
