Does the man now at the helm of this critical government entity still believe that nationalized health care is ideal, or that CER can rightly lead to care rationing?
The initial academic detailing grants are intended to disseminate the findings of comparative effectiveness research (CER), which evaluates treatment outcomes derived from large-population as opposed to patient-specific data.
Government CER sounds like a progressive solution, but it is actually a frightening move that puts government detailers between patients and doctors and favors one-size-fits-none cost cutting over continued medical progress.
