- Summary:
- The Last Decade has seen sweeping changes in US health care policy. With more changes on the way, the emerging field of comparative effectiveness research-the science of determining how different treatments work best for different conditions-is critical for patients and clinicians who wish to make wise decisions regarding medical therapies. Comparative Effectiveness Research is the first textbook to offer an introduction to this topic. Written by an experienced university educator and researcher, the goal of this text is to provide readers with a gentle introduction to this diverse field. This book will be a welcome addition to any number of courses in medicine, public health, nursing, dentistry, and allied health-or to the reference shelf of any working medical practitioner. This book includes: An accessible overview aimed at health professionals, students, or anyone interested in understanding a central element of the new health care policies in the United States, Broad coverage of the construction of research questions, the possible choices of therapies and services, the types of patient-centered outcomes, the range of study designs, and how these elements fit together, A diverse spectrum of examples and practical considerations for implementation, Inquiries, experiential materials, and links to web-based resources to facilitate participatory learning Book jacket.
