Mission

ICER's mission is to lead innovation in comparative effectiveness research through methods that integrate considerations of clinical benefit and economic value.  Through a unique collaboration with patients, clinicians, manufacturers, insurers and other healthcare stakeholders, ICER develops tools to support patient decisions and medical policy that share the goal of achieving maximum value for every healthcare dollar.

Appraisals

ICER prioritizes its appraisals to focus on those interventions which have (or are likely to have) a major impact on system-wide health care quality and costs. ICER reviews may be particularly useful when a clear understanding of the clinical and economic impact of an intervention requires analysis of downstream effects on patient care and utilization. Importantly, ICER reviews and its rating system are also framed to have the greatest impact when comparing interventions in clinical domains in which it is believed that patients and clinicians have choices among reasonable alternatives.
