Organizations for QI: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality PCOR compares the impact of two or more preventive, diagnostic, treatment, or health care delivery approaches on health outcomes, including those that are meaningful to patients. Congress instructed AHRQ to invest in four specific activities: Disseminate findings from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and Government-funded entities that sponsor research on comparative clinical effectiveness, develop a publicly available resource that collects government-funded evidence and research from public, private, not-for-profit, and academic sources, support the incorporation of research findings into health information technologies associated with clinical decision support, and award training grants to develop the skills of researchers to build capacity for future comparative effectiveness research.
