Evidence-based Practice Centers
In 1997 the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now known as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), launched its initiative to promote evidence-based practice in everyday care through establishment of 12 Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs). The EPCs develop evidence reports and technology assessments on topics relevant to clinical, social science/behavioral, economic, and other health care organization and delivery issues—specifically those that are common, expensive, and/or significant for the Medicare and Medicaid populations. With this program, AHRQ became a "science partner" with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care by synthesizing the evidence and facilitating the translation of evidence-based research findings. Topics are nominated by non-federal partners such as professional societies, health plans, insurers, employers, and patient groups. Go to www.ah ... [Read More]

These studies include a clinical trial of black cohosh for the treatment of menopausal complaints, a basic science evaluation of various biological activities of a Chinese herbal preparation to help assess its safety for women with or at risk for breast cancer, and clinical studies comparing a macrobiotic diet with an American Heart Association diet to assess outcomes including hormone and phytoestrogen metabolism, cardiovascular function, and bone metabolism. The Center also runs a postgraduate fellowship program to train CAM researchers; it includes a summer program abroad. A pilot research program encourages new research efforts targeting significant health problems of aging and women's health. ... [Read More]
