Communication and Dissemination Strategies To Facilitate the Use of Health-Related Evidence Executive Summary.

摘要

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsors research to improve the quality, effectiveness, and safety of health care in the United States. Evidence reports and technology assessments generated through AHRQ's Effective Health Care Program provide science-based information about common, relevant health conditions and technologies to serve the needs of patients, clinicians, insurance payers, and other end users. Findings from clinical, health services, and comparative effectiveness studies- especially as assembled for systematic reviews and similar documents-need to be communicated and disseminated effectively to influence optimal and timely practice and health policies.
