In order to make transparent attributions between intervention and outcomes, PHII has developed the Methods Evaluation Process (MEP) Accreditation & Certification Programs. The MEP Programs are based on the same principles of evidence as comparative effectiveness research. One has to compare a program to something equivalent. And, the metrics and methods used in the comparison must be transparent.
