Scope and Contents: Administrative materials, research files, correspondence, journal articles, audiovisual materials, and photographs document the medical career of John M. Eisenberg, MD, former Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Materials cover Eisenberg's education at Princeton University and his careers at the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, and AHRQ. The collection is evenly divided between research and administrative materials used by Eisenberg in speeches, lectures, writings, and management responsibilities. Many of his research methods focused on evidence-based medicine (EBM), the practice of making medical decisions through judicious identification, evaluation, and application of the most relevant published information. Eisenberg's research methodology depended heavily on vociferous reading of relevant publications and articles, internalizing the issues, and then formulating his own opinions for speeches, policy making, or his own writing. Therefore the collection contains a significant amount of photocopied and clipped articles on medical issues from newspapers, journals, and magazines which can be found in Series I: Administrative Materials, Series V: Publications, and Series VI: Reports and Research Papers. A significant amount of these materials have no citations.
