Emory University Center for Clinical Evaluation Sciences: a model for clinical practice evaluation in the changing environment of the academic health center.

Many academic health centers have recognized the need to develop a capability for evaluating clinical practices and organizational restructuring. The Center for Clinical Evaluation Sciences at Emory University represents a model for the integration of evaluative capabilities into academic clinical practices.
