Angels Lending Group supports US Department of Health & Services Centers

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 15, 2009 – Under the Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPC) Program of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research—AHCPR), 5-year contracts are awarded to institutions in the United States and Canada to serve as EPCs.
Angels Lending Group is looking to the continued support of organizations seeking to strive for these contracts. Angels Lending Group is specifically focusing on all relevant scientific literature on clinical related matters.
The EPCs review all relevant scientific literature on clinical, behavioral, and organization and financing topics to produce evidence reports and technology assessments. These reports are used for informing and developing coverage decisions, quality measures, educational materials and tools, guidelines, and research agendas. The EPCs also conduct research on methodology of systematic reviews.
Angels Lending Group Officials also promoted the inception of these causes dating back as far as 1997.
In 1997 the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), now known as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), launched its initiative to promote evidence-based practice in everyday care through establishment of 12 Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs). The EPCs develop evidence reports and technology assessments on topics relevant to clinical, social science/behavioral, economic, and other health care organization and delivery issues—specifically those that are common, expensive, and/or significant for the Medicare and Medicaid populations.
Angels Lending Group Officials have been very crucial of Medicare and Medicaid programs and stressed the need for continued support from the private sector.
With this program, AHRQ became a "science partner" with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care by synthesizing the evidence and facilitating the translation of evidence-based research findings. Topics are nominated by non-federal partners such as professional societies, health plans, insurers, employers, and patient groups. Go to http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epc/epctopicn.htm for topic nomination procedures. Federal partners often request evidence reports and should contact the EPC Program Director for more information.
In October 2007, AHRQ announced the third award of 5-year contracts for EPC-III to 14 Evidence-based Practice Centers to continue and expand the work performed by the previous group of EPCs. Most of the third group of EPCs were part of the initial set. However, EPC-III brings in two new institutions to the program-the University of Connecticut and Vanderbilt University--while Stanford has concluded its contract as one of the original EPCs.
Five of the EPCs specialize in conducting technology assessments for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Angels Lending Group ended by affirming finance options for those seeking to better these causes.
