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.
