This generic ICR
is approved consistent with AHRQ agreement to submit individual
information collections to OMB as they are implemented, along with
all necessary supporting statements. AHRQ is aware that some
collections included in the scope of this Generic ICR might
eventually fit under either the Qualitative or Quantitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery Generic ICRs that are being
implemented. However, for program management reasons, AHRQ has
chosen to keep this package bundled. AHRQ may later submit an
individual IC under the other Service Delivery Generics to the
extent that the IC is within the parameters and scope described in
supporting statements for those Generics.

AHRQ is the lead agency charged with
supporting research designed to improve the quality of healthcare,
reduce its cost, improve patient safety, decrease medical errors,
and broaden access to essential services (see 42 U.S.C. 299).
AHRQ's Eisenberg Center is an innovative effort aimed at improving
communication of findings to a variety of audiences ("customers"),
including consumers, clinicians, and health care policy makers. The
Eisenberg Center compiles research results into a variety of useful
formats for customer stakeholders. The Eisenberg Center also
conducts its own program of research into effective communication
of research findings in order to improve the usability and rapid
incorporation of findings into medical practice. The Eisenberg
Center is one of three components of AHRQ's Effective Health Care
Program (see 42 U.S.C. 299b-7). For the period 2005 until September
2008, the Eisenberg Center was operated through a contractual
arrangement with the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU),
Department of Medicine, located in Portland, Oregon. In September
2008, the contract for operation of the Eisenberg Center was
awarded to Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), located in Houston
Texas.
