EHC Program Update

White Paper Now Available Outcome Measure Harmonization and Data Infrastructure for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research in Depression - Report on Registry Configuration (White Paper, released on November 30, 2020) The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and value of capturing the harmonized depression outcome measures in the clinical workflow and submitting these data to different registries. Secondary objectives include demonstrating the feasibility of using these data for patient-centered outcomes research and developing a toolkit to support registries interested in sharing data with external researchers. Opportunity to Comment on Draft Report We encourage the public to participate in the development of our research projects. Comments can be submitted for: Physical Activity and the Health of Wheelchair Users - Review of Evidence in People with Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord Injury (Available for comment until January 8, 2021) This systematic review summarizes the evidence for physical activity in people with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury regardless of current use or nonuse of a wheelchair. Opportunity to Submit Scientific Information The Effective Health Care (EHC) Program is interested in receiving supplemental evidence and data (SEADs) for systematic reviews that are relevant to the questions in our evidence reports. To ensure that it has full access to relevant research, whether or not it is published, the EHC Program is interested in receiving SEADs containing detailed study-specific information. Opportunities to submit scientific information are available for: Maternal and Childhood Outcomes Associated With the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) (Available for submission until December 29, 2020) This systematic review will summarize the evidence on how participation in WIC is associated with outcomes for women and children. Models of Care That Include Primary Care for Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer (Submission deadline extended until December 28, 2020) The aim of this project is: (1) to identify and analyze models of survivorship care that include primary care using realist synthesis; and (2) to identify available tools, training, and resources for childhood cancer survivorship and use realist synthesis to understand how and why they produce effects on health outcomes. Transitions of Care From Pediatric to Adult Services for Children With Special Healthcare Needs (Submission deadline extended until January 4, 2021) The review will examine transitioning to adult health care for all children with special health care needs. The key decisional dilemmas to be addressed by the review include the effectiveness and harms of (1) health care interventions targeted toward children with special healthcare needs and their families/caregivers, (2) strategies to implement interventions for healthcare transition including provider-related training, and (3) tools to facilitate communication between pediatric and adult providers. Living Systematic Review on Plant-Based Treatment for Chronic Pain (Submission deadline extended until January 4, 2021) This review will assess the effectiveness and harms of plant-based treatments for chronic pain conditions.
