11:15AM-12:45PM SECOND PLENARY SESSION
  A ROADMAP FOR KNOWING WHAT WORKS IN HEALTH CARE: WILL A US NATIONAL CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS CENTER OR THE ARRA’s COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH PROGRAM SHOW THE WAY?
The United States Institute of Medicine (IOM) in a recent report recommended to the US Congress to establish a single national clinical effectiveness assessment entity (program) with sufficient resource, authority, and capacity to facilitate the development of standards and processes that yield credible, unbiased, and understandable syntheses of available evidence on clinical effectiveness. For further information on this report, see: http://www.iom.edu/CMS/3809/34261/50718.aspx. More recently the IOM was asked by the US Congress, in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), to recommend priorities for spending the $1.1 billion on comparative effectiveness research. During this plenary session, a national clinical effectiveness entity and setting priorities for ARRA comparative effectiveness research will be discussed and debated.
