Health Care Industry Council

Our purpose is to improve the effectiveness of health care delivery for its multiple stakeholders. To that end, we seek to build a dialogue among managers, workers, academics and policy-makers.  To inform this dialogue, we seek to build a clearinghouse of cutting edge research whereby we become more aware of and build on each other’s work, and collaborate in carrying out new research on topics of mutual concern.   In particular, we hope to:

• Enhance the effectiveness of health care delivery (quality, safety, efficiency, access)
• Enhance the quality, desirability and financing of health care work
• Analyze macro trends likely to affect health care delivery
