Continuing more than a century of health care delivery research and innovation In December, Mayo Clinic’s Evidence-Based Practice Research Program received a highly-competitive designation by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), naming Mayo Clinic one of only 13 Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs) in North America. The EPC program was launched in the 1990’s as an initiative of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. New or renewed selection as an EPC occurs every five years, and EPCs are charged with reviewing existing research and providing a summary of scientific evidence on designated topics. The goal of the program is to improve the effectiveness, appropriateness and overall quality of health care. EPCs seek to synthesize the available evidence and facilitate translation of evidence-based research findings. Mayo Clinic’s Evidence-Based Practice Program intersects with both the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery and Mayo Clinic’s Knowledge and Evaluation Research Unit.

M. Fernanda Bellolio, M.D., is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Mayo Clinic, and a Health Care Delivery Scholar in the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery. ________________________________________________________________________ I remember like yesterday when I received an e-mail from Drs. Jon Tilburt (@DrJonTilburt) and Erik Hess (@ErikHessMD) that I was accepted as a scholar in the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery! Wow. I felt honored to be part of a select group of clinicians being trained and mentored in health services research to transform health care delivery and improve patient-centered outcomes. My friends asked, “Didn’t you already finish residency? What does being a scholar mean?” As scholars we assess existing health care delivery systems and various care models, with the goal to improve those systems and improve the delivery of health care. Health services research harnesses the disciplines of the social sciences, including epidemiology, statistics and sociology, to providing evidence-informed and patient-centered health care. The Kern Scholars Program brings together Mayo Clinic's strategic goals — to transform the health care delivery process by using our knowledge and information to provide solutions and remain trusted and affordable to patients and sustain a scholarly workforce relevant to recent health care reform legislation.
