Abstract
- Recent health care legislation in the United States has turned considerable focus to comparative effectiveness research (CER) domestically, though it has been a topic of discussion internationally for many years. Without a fully comprehensive and consistent definition of CER developed, much uncertainty and confusion surrounds its utilization. In addition, contention exists regarding the incorporation of cost and economic considerations as a component of CER. This discussion includes various suggested definitions of CER, methodological considerations, legislation and utilization, and the role of cost-effectiveness evaluations in CER.
