The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund/National Research Center for Women & Families, as part of the Patient and Consumer Coalition, urges that the House language on comparative effectiveness research be included when the House and Senate health care bills are reconciled. The House language places the center for comparative effectiveness research in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to minimize industry conflicts-of-interests and ensure scientific objectivity. This will benefit patients by reducing the use of ineffective and potentially dangerous treatments and medical tests.
