Dear members
I've receibed 4 comments on this issue.Thank you very much for
your precise and kind comments.
I now know from your comments that issue underlies;
a)Angry in the surgical community about AHCPR
back pain guideline emphasis on conservative management.And
They lobbied Congress to eliminate the AHCPR.
AHCPR was reduced significantly the budget by the Congress.
b)AHCPR gets new name and mission
:Change the agency's name to the Agency for Health Research
and Quality (AHRQ) and would specify a new list of priorities,
including more focus on helpingprivate sector efforts to measure
and improve the quality of health care.
I recognize that the guidelines made by AHCPR are evidence-based.
But for political reason,the evidence-based clinical guidelines are
abondoned.
That is TRAGEDY!! No,bad joke to me.
Tons of thanks who gave me emails
Regards
Saio
