The AHRQ Effective Health Care Program, through its DEcIDE Research Network, is sponsoring a third invitational symposium on research methods entitled, “Methods for Developing and Analyzing Clinically Rich Data for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research”. This 2-day symposium will be held on June 6 and 7 at the AHRQ Conference Center. To expand access to the symposium proceedings, AHRQ will provide a live broadcast of the authors’ slides and audio presentations via the internet. If you are interested in viewing this broadcast select for more information and register. The symposium is a follow-up to the 2006 and 2009 AHRQ conferences on Methods in Comparative Effectiveness and Safety Research; papers presented at past conferences were published in the journal Medical Care. (Download these published papers or order free reprints by sending an e-mail to AHRQpubs@ahrq.hhs.gov pub#OM07-0085 and #OM10-0067.) The 2011 conference will focus on original research and the methodological insight or advances that arise from the conduct of the research. In addition, the symposium aims to provide a forum for scholarly deliberation of new and emerging research methods by scientists working in different disciplines and across settings. The symposium will feature presentations by authors whose abstracts were selected through a blinded peer-review process. In addition to the scientific presentations, keynote speeches will be given by John Concato, M.D., Yale School of Medicine and Louis Jacques, M.D., Director of Coverage & Analysis at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
