Readers need to be aware, that if the health law, “Obamacare” is repealed, the Patient Centered Outcome Research Institute (PCORI) Institute would be abolished.
The PCORI was established in 2010 by Obamacare — the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. PCORI’s mission is to conduct research to provide information about the best available evidence to help patients and their health care providers make more informed decisions. PCORI’s research is intended to give patients a better understanding of the prevention, treatment and care options available, and the science that supports those options.
Comparative effectiveness research not only has the potential to improve patient care because it focuses on enhancing the evidence for making decisions about tests and treatments, but also, in my opinion, the potential to reduce the cost of defensive medicine and medical malpractice.
The PCORI is one of many provisions of Obamacare that would make our health care system more efficient and effective — and in the long run, sustainable.
Yes, I agree with Joie. Thank you President Obama! I also didn’t have to Haggle with my insurance company for my Mammogram reimbursement for once. Paid for compliments of Obamacare 🙂
