abstract:The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, also known as PCORI, is a United States based non-governmental institute created as part of a modification to the Social Security Act by clauses in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Finally, the law invests in the Patient-Centered OutcomesResearchInstitute and the CMS Innovation Center, which may lead to new ideas to contain costs as well.
In other words, what Medicare needs is accelerated implementation of initiatives such as the Patient-Centered OutcomesResearchInstitute and the Accountable Care Organizations that are the little-noticed backbone of the Affordable Care Act.
But they also included a foundation built on the fortune of the co-founder of Intel Corp. (the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation) and a non-profit created by Congress and expected to give away roughly a billion dollars by 2015, the Patient-Centered OutcomesResearchInstitute (PCORI).
