Abstract:
This is an ongoing activity of AHRQ’s Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program. AHRQ’s EPC Program develops evidence reports and technology assessments on topics relevant to clinical and other health care organization and delivery issues—specifically those that are common, expensive, and/or significant for the Medicare and Medicaid populations. For example, recent reviews have focused on clinical conditions, such as “Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases” ; health delivery topics, such as “Transitions of Care From Pediatric to Adult Services for Children With Special Healthcare Needs” ; and specific technologies, such as “Telehealth for Women’s Preventive Services.” These evidence reports include systematic reviews, technical briefs, and rapid reviews; and provide an essential foundation from which to understand what we know from existing research and what critical research gaps remain. These reports, reviews, and technology assessments are based on rigorous, comprehensive syntheses and analyses of the scientific literature on topics. EPC reports and assessments emphasize explicit and detailed documentation of methods, rationale, and assumptions. EPC reports are conducted in accordance with an established policy on financial and nonfinancial interests. These scientific syntheses may include meta-analyses and cost analyses. The EPC Program supports AHRQ’s mission by synthesizing and disseminating the available research as a “science partner” with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care. The EPC Program is a trusted source of rigorous, comprehensive, and unbiased evidence reviews for stakeholders. The resulting evidence reports and technology assessments are used by Federal and State agencies, private-sector professional societies, health delivery systems, providers, payers, and others committed to evidence-based health care. These end-users may use EPC Program evidence reports to inform policy decisions, clinical practice guidelines, and other healthcare decisions. This research has the following goals: o Use research methods to gather knowledge on the effectiveness and harms of certain treatments and healthcare delivery processes and models for medical conditions, both published and unpublished, to evaluate the quality of research studies and the evidence from these studies. o Promote the use of evidence in healthcare decision making to improve healthcare and health. o Identify research gaps to inform future research investments.

Short Statement:
Each SEADS portal is a new collection. The nature of systematic reviews is to secure comparable evidence on the efficacy and effectiveness of numerous treatments for health related diseases and disorders. These reviews aim to inform healthcare decision-making by clinicians and consumers, and inform guidance on clinical practice. The findings of these reviews are intended to help clinicians and consumers make the best decisions in their particular circumstances. In general, the goal for these reports is to be completed within a year. The steps that go into each review therefore are on a tight schedule and are not ongoing in order to fulfill their purpose. Thus, there are no ongoing collections of information from study sponsors and industry stakeholders for the same topic.
