Summary

Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a program providing for research regarding outcomes of selected medical treatments and surgical procedures so as to assess their quality and effectiveness. Places a priority on the selection of procedures and treatments which are significant, for purposes of Medicare, in terms of costs, risks, hospitalization periods and utilization patterns. Authorizes appropriations from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund for FY 1987 through 1989. Requires that at least 90 percent of the funds available in any fiscal year be used to fund grants to, and cooperative agreements with, non-Federal research entities. Directs that the program be administered by the National Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology. Requires the Center to report its findings to specified congressional committees and disseminate such findings as widely as possible.
