EPCs produce evidence reports, technical reviews (covering nonclinical methodological topics), and technology assessments
that are based on rigorous, comprehensive syntheses and analyses of the scientific literature on topics relevant to clinical,
social science/behavioral, economic, and other health care organization and delivery issues. These reports and assessments
emphasize explicit and detailed documentation of methods, rationale, and assumptions and may include meta-analyses and
cost analyses. EPCs collaborate with other medical and research organizations so that a broad range of experts is included
in the development process. The resulting evidence reports and technology assessments are used by Federal and State agencies,
private sector professional societies, health delivery systems, providers, payers, and others committed to evidence-based
health care.
