Health Care Industry Council

Purpose

The Health Care Industry Council is a multi-stakeholder organization dedicated to linking high quality research to policy and practice.  We seek to build a dialogue among health care managers, workers, researchers and policy-makers.  To provide an evidence base for this dialogue, we offer a clearinghouse of high quality research.   This research promotes one or more of the following goals:

• To enhance health care delivery (quality, safety, efficiency, access)
• To enhance health care work (quality, desirability, financing)
• To understand macro trends that affect health care delivery
