[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Clinically Enhanced Multi-Purpose Administrative Dataset for Comparative Effectiveness Research [Institution] University of South Florida [Amount] $0 [Summary] The paucity of critical comparative cost-effectiveness information to assess intervention options that will enable care providers, consumers, decision-making parties as well as other stakeholders to make informed decisions and choices on available alternatives could hamper the realization of the potentially accruable benefits of the new health care reform. The state of Florida suffers from a very costly health care system with global annual health care expenditure growth, personal health care and per capita health care expenditures that exceed the national average. The virtual absence of reliable and rigorously validated large, clinically enhanced administrative databases statewide hinders the ability of public health and other researchers to offer evidence-based data that could inform decision-making and improve efficient utilization of health care resources in the state. It is for this reason that the project in this grant proposal is capital for the state because it envisages filling this gap, which is a necessary step if Florida is to succeed in achieving a cost-effective and efficient health care delivery system in the future under the newly enacted national health care reform.
