Welcome to new PIPC Website

Welcome to PIPC. We're a broad coalition dedicated to promoting patient-centered approaches to comparative effectiveness research (CER).

You may have been hearing about comparative effectiveness research as part of the current health care debate going on here in Washington. We believe CER can benefit patients by giving them the information they need to make good health care decisions, and we're working hard to make sure CER is focused on the needs of patients and caregivers.

I hope you find our site useful as a resource for the latest news and insight on patient-centered comparative effectiveness research. Please check back often as I'll be blogging regularly, keeping you up to date on the latest developments and how you can help us keep the patient at the center of CER.
