Dr. Joshua Lenchus Addresses the Challenge of Bias in Health Care

Joshua D. Lenchus, DO, RPh, FACP, FHM, discusses the lack of impact comparative effectiveness research (CER) has had on patient safety. In addition, he speaks about the need for more comparisons that study safety and efficacy in patient populations. There are asymmetries which need to be overcome in the delivery of information between industry and government.

Dr. Lenchus believes regulations on industry need to be loosened and must be on par with the regulations that will guide the government’s interactions with CER.
