Board on Health Care Services
The work of the Board on Health Care Services (HCS), within the Health and Medicine Division, is helping to shape the direction of health care in the United States and abroad. The Board considers the entire health care system in order to ensure the best possible care for all patients. Its activities pertain to organization, financing, effectiveness, workforce, and delivery of health care.
The Board places special emphasis on quality, costs, and accessibility of care and in 1996 launched a concerted effort to assess and improve the nation's quality of care.
