Abstract: AHRQ's newly-established Eisenberg Center is an innovative effort aimed at improving communication of findings to a variety of audiences ("customers"), including consumers, clinicians, payers, and health care policy makers. The Eisenberg Center, one of three components of AHRQ's Effective Health Care Program announced in September 2005, is directed through a contract by the Oregon Health and Science University, Department of Medicine, located in Portland, Oregon. The Eisenberg Center intends to employ the latest survey research techniques to (1) determine how well its products and services are meeting customers' current and anticipated needs; (2) identify problem areas with existing products and services and determine what improvements should be made to improve these products and services; and (3) identify and develop new products and services. To address customer requirements and to evaluate current and future AHRQ products and services, the Eisenberg Center must periodically determine how well the Eisenberg Center products and services are meeting customers' current and anticipated needs. Work conducted under this clearance will improve the products and services the Center develops for AHRQ for a three year period. The health care environment changes rapidly and requires a quick response from AHRQ to provide appropriately refined products and services. A generic clearance for this work will facilitate AHRQ's timely response to customers' needs.
