EPC projects and questions are nominated to AHRQ from a variety of sources. Please refer to AHRQ EPC website for further information concerning nominations of topics. Typically, EPC projects involve a systematic review of the evidence addressing the questions and some synthesis of this evidence (e.g., evidence tables, meta-analyses, decision analyses, etc.) in the form of an evidence report.
Impact of EPC projects include publications and use in development of guidelines and other implementation activities. A document outlining the impact of each Johns Hopkins EPC project is available (PDF format).
The Johns Hopkins EPC has been awarded several EPC topics.
