The second volume in the Health Services Research series provides a
series of perspectives on comparative effectiveness research.
Motivated by concern from the general public, governments in
virtually all countries with developed and rapidly developing
economies have been actively seeking and promoting ways of
improving the patient experience of health care, improving the
health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of health
care. While comparing treatment outcomes is not a new concept,
appreciation of its potential application has grown in recent
years. In addition to traditional health sciences methods, modern
approaches to comparative effectiveness research now include
greater emphasis on social sciences frameworks such as economics,
ethics, and implementation science. Moreover, a key feature of the
modern approach to comparing treatment outcomes is a focus on the
individual patient through explicit consideration of inter-patient
variability and patient-reported outcomes. Comparative
Effectiveness Research presents a series of chapters of relevance
including introductions to areas that are being incorporated when
comparing treatments, country-specific applications,
patient-centred approaches, and modern methods. Included are
chapters on the following areas that are being considered in
treatment comparisons: ethics, economics and costs, implementation
science, modern payment schemes (coverage with evidence
development), and priority setting. Country-specific examples
include an overview chapter on national approaches from various
countries in Europe, Australia, and Canada, as well as specific
chapters on comparative effectiveness research in Brazil and in the
United States. The focus on the individual patient is described
through chapters on patient-centred comparative effectiveness
research, individualized treatment, the link with personalized
medicine, and incorporating patient and public input for treatment.
Methodological chapters include overviews of data sources, study
designs, new statistical methods of combining results, the link
with evidence-based medicine, specific issues when comparing drug
and non-drug technologies, and dissemination of results.
