Comparative Effectiveness and Efficacy Research and Analysis for Practice (CEERAP): Applications in Health Care - Tapa blanda

In this book, experts in comparative effectiveness and efficacy research and analysis for practice (CEERAP) in health care, and specifically in dentistry, address a range of issues. The implications for endodontics and nursing are set out in distinct chapters.

Recent trends in health care across the United States and internationally have emphasized a novel approach that consists in comparing the effectiveness and efficacy of treatment interventions with a patient-centered emphasis (i.e., evidence-based health care), while ensuring cost constraints, maximizing benefits, and minimizing risks. In this book, experts in comparative effectiveness and efficacy research and analysis for practice (CEERAP) in health care in general address a range of topical issues. The emphasis is on implications for endodontics and nursing, both of which are considered in a series of detailed chapters. Commonalities and differences among CEERAP, utility-based and logic-based analysis and decision-making, and evidence-based and patient-centered practice are defined and discussed. The book concludes by examining applications for CEERAP in developing patient-centered optimal treatment interventions for the next decade.
