[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF TREATMENTS FOR LUMBAR SPINE [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN MADISON [Amount] $0 [Summary] We intend to establish a mechanism by which physicians of many specialties can contribute to a prospective database in order to allow for the comparison of outcomes following different treatments for similar disorders. The first step in this process is to agree upon the definitions, outcomes measures, and reporting mechanisms to be used. The proposed conference will be an important step in gathering relevant stakeholders together to work out the components of such a database. This is the first attempt to coordinate input from multiple medical societies, the insurance industry, and government overseers. [Completion/ Closing Date] 10/01/2010 [Link] link [Category]
