The Institutes of Medicine (IOM) defines Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) as: “…the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a clinical condition or to improve the delivery of care. The purpose of CER is to assist consumers, clinicians, purchasers and policymakers to make informed decisions that will improve health care at both the individual and population levels.”
