ICER receives funding from government grants, non-profit foundations, health plans, provider groups, and health industry manufacturers. Through all its work, ICER seeks to help create a future in which collaborative efforts to move evidence into action provide the foundation for a more effective, efficient, and just health care system. More information about ICER is available at www.icer-review.org. About CTAF The California Technology Assessment Forum (CTAF) – a core program of ICER – reviews evidence reports and provides a public venue in which the evidence on the effectiveness and value of health care services can be discussed with the input of all stakeholders. CTAF seeks to help patients, clinicians, insurers, and policymakers interpret and use evidence to improve the quality and value of health care. CTAF is supported by grants from the Blue Shield of California Foundation and the California HealthCare Foundation. The CTAF Panel is an independent committee of medical evidence experts from across California, with a mix of practicing clinicians, methodologists, and leaders in patient engagement and advocacy, all of whom meet strict conflict of interest guidelines, who are convened to evaluate evidence and vote on the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of medical interventions. More information about CTAF is available at www.ctaf.org. About CEPAC The New England Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC) is an independent, regional body of practicing physicians, methodological experts, and leaders in patient advocacy and engagement that provides objective, independent guidance on the application of medical evidence to clinical practice and payer policy decisions across New England. Council members are elected for three-year terms and represent a diversity of expertise and perspective; they are purposely not selected for expertise in the clinical topic under discussion in order to maintain the objectivity of the Council and to ground the conversation in the interpretation of the published evidence rather than anecdotal experience or expert opinion. Led by ICER, CEPAC is supported by a broad coalition of state Medicaid leaders, integrated provider groups, public and private payers, and patient representatives.
