Key Definitions: CER & PCOR

• CER is comparative clinical effectiveness research. It is research that compares the outcomes, including possible benefits and harms, of two or more available healthcare options to determine what works best for which patients under what circumstances. Outcomes are the measurable results, positive or negative, of a healthcare option.
• PCOR is patient-centered outcomes research. It is a type of CER. PCOR is CER that compares outcomes that matter most to stakeholders, such as patients and those who care for them, healthcare providers and healthcare advocates. Patient-centered outcomes research requires the engagement of stakeholders as active partners in research. By sharing their lived experience and expertise, stakeholders influence research to be more patient-centered, relevant and useful.
