AHRQ 2007 Annual Conference
September 27, 2007
Notes:
Thank you
This project is all about translating complicated evidence-based medicine findings and disseminating them to the public so that consumers—and doctors and pharmacists—can make decisions based on science and not based on advertising/marketing.
Especially pleased to be here in light of the burden that employers are facing with the increasing costs of health care.
Also with the increasing need that employers have for unbiased information about health care quality and cost.
