The Campaign for Effective Patient Care is a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization formed in 2009 with initial support from AARP, the California Association of Physician Groups, and Blue Shield of California. The Campaign for Effective Patient Care advocates for safe, scientifically-sound health care for all patients.
Through education and advocacy, the Campaign for Effective Patient Care will support work to help policymakers develop an understanding of how evidence-based medicine is essential to an effectively functioning health-care delivery system.
In the coming years, the Campaign for Effective Patient Care will work with policymakers to assure that the necessary infrastructure and incentives are in place to support the use of current, objective, scientific evidence in medical decision making by doctors and patients.
