Making Coverage Decisions

This article reports on the proceedings of ECRI's 10th Annual Conference on Healthcare Policy, Law, and Methodology, held October 29-30, 2002, in Plymouth Meeting, PA. The conference discussion focused on how evidence reviews based on the relatively new science of research synthesis will play an increasingly important role not only in the practice of medicine but also in the business of health care. The PDF for the above title, published in the May 2003 issue of EBRI Notes, also contains the fulltext of another May 2003 EBRI Notes article abstracted on SSRN: "Social Security Actuarial Balance and the Labor Force Participation Rate."
