- Help establish the value of treatments
- Promote a more quality-focused cost-effective health system
- Help physicians and patients make better decisions
- Be a way for manufacturers to differentiate products
- However, it is not the "silver bullet" as it will not automatically solve our cost and quality challenges
- How should information from CE research be used?
