About the Center for Evidence-based Policy and the Medicaid Evidence-based Decisions (MED) Project

The Center for Evidence-based Policy (Center) is recognized as a national leader in evidencebased decision making and policy design. The Center understands the needs of policymakers and supports public organizations by providing reliable information to guide decisions, maximize existing resources, improve health outcomes, and reduce unnecessary costs. The Center specializes in ensuring diverse and relevant perspectives are considered, and appropriate resources are leveraged to strategically address complex policy issues with highquality evidence and collaboration. The Center is based at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon.

The Medicaid Evidence-based Decisions (MED) Project is housed at the Center. Its mission is to create an effective collaboration among Medicaid programs and their state partners for the purpose of making high quality evidence analysis available to support benefit design and coverage decisions made by state programs. Further information about the MED project and the Center is available at ohsu.edu/policycenter.

Most MED Project reports are proprietary. However, in an effort to assist the state of Oregon with the transparency of their coverage guidance development, the references for this specific report are being shared publicly.
