House of Delegates adopted a resolution on patient-centered outcomes research.
In 2010, through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Congress created the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute an independent nonprofit organization to lead CER/PCOR
In the report to the 2011 House, the council said that several concerns related to CER/PCOR have been raised. Some of these include the possibility that improvements in dental care through new or improved therapeutic devices, pharmaceuticals or procedures may be limited, and the misuse of CER/PCOR findings may limit insurance coverage policy or coverage decisions
