What sets ECRI Institute apart?
We firmly believe that seeking and finding the best ways to improve patient care require two essential factors:
- The Discipline of Science
Only science, rigorously applied and implemented by experienced, disciplined scientists from the clinical, engineering, and research communities, can unearth the broad-scale, systematic approaches to improving patient care.
- The Integrity of Independence
Our conflict-of-interest rules have been carefully developed to create an environment that maximizes objectivity, productivity, and integrity of process. We accept no advertising revenues from any source. Our employees are not permitted to own stock shares in medical device or pharmaceutical firms, and we verify this by examining each employee’s federal income tax return. We go beyond the industry norm to ensure that you receive unbiased guidance.
