The New Paradigm for Research in the US Health Care System".=0D=0AEvidenced Based Medicine has adopted a hierarchy of evidence which places Random Controlled Trials (RCTs) at the apex. This privileging of one form of evidence has posed problems for true evidence based practice which requires data about effectiveness rather than efficacy. This presentation will examine the move that is occurring in the US from RCTs to Comparative Effectiveness Research (pragmatic trials) and the implications it has for health services and health sciences research.=0D=0A=0D=0APlease check back on the Events Calendar on the day of the event to ensure the event is still being held.
