[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Hawaii Hospital Information Content [Institution] Queen»s Medical Center [Amount] $0 [Summary] The interest in comparative effectiveness research (CER) is based on the belief that more informed decisions about the use of health care resources could improve the public's health and reduce the costs of care. Although CER encompasses a broad range of methodologic approaches and data sources, the goal of this proposal is to develop the capacity to perform CER by enhancing the breadth and scope of data contained within a statewide, all-payer Hospital discharge and emergency department data set in Hawaii - the state that has the nation's most racially diverse population, the longest life expectancy, the longest experience with employer-mandated health care benefits (over 35 years), and one of the lowest Medicare costs per beneficiary.
