Abstract: 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.

Contents: Fundamentals: Building Communities of Practice in Comparative Effectiveness Research -- Probability–Utility Model for Evidence-Based Decision-Making -- Clinically Relevant Complex Systematic Reviews in Endodontics: Relevance to Comparative Effectiveness Research and Evidence-Based Clinical Decision-Making -- Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Evidence-Based Dental Decision-Making: Principles and Practice -- Endodontic Therapy Versus Dental Implant Therapy: Deciding the Best Approach -- The Translation Evidence Mechanism -- Evidence-Based Treatment and Management of Asthma and Pressure Ulcers -- Evidence-Based Care for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome in New York City -- The Patient Centered Medical Home -- Transitional Care -- Evidence-Based Standard of Care: Applications for Comparative Effectiveness and Efficacy Research and Analysis for Practice (CEERAP) in Developing Patient-Centered Optimal Treatment Interventions in Health Care for the Next Decade.
