Comparative effectiveness research

Providing evidence-based data to make informed health care decisions

The Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) Committee focuses on differences in safety, effectiveness, resource utilization, health disparities, economics and quality-of-life outcomes between existing management or treatment options. This committee is tasked with developing evidenced-based data to compare interventional radiology services and procedures with their medical and surgical alternatives. This committee organizes webinars on critical topics in CER.
