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:

Improving Rural Health Through Telehealth-Guided Provider-to-Provider Communication
(Available for submission until February 16, 2021)

This systematic review of provider-to-provider telehealth for rural patients and populations is intended to address a number of decisional dilemmas, including areas of uncertainty and lack of accessible evidence to support clinical and policy decision-making. This review will identify and synthesize the literature on telehealth-guided clinical decision-making by healthcare providers for rural patients, telehealth-associated clinical outcomes, the benefits and unintended consequences of use of telehealth, and the effectiveness of implementation and sustainability strategies for provider-to-provider telehealth in rural areas. 

Interventional Treatments for Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review
(Submission deadline extended until February 16, 2021)

This systematic review will evaluate the effectiveness and harms of selected interventional procedures in the Medicare population. The review will focus on procedures which are not currently covered for by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) but are relevant for and have potential utility for use in the Medicare population, or procedures that are covered by CMS but for which there is important uncertainty or controversy regarding use.
