NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the
Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are
drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National
Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of
the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special
competencies and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according
to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of
members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of
Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National Academy
of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the appropriate professions in
the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. In
this, the Institute acts under both the Academy's 1863 congressional charter
responsibility to be an advisor to the federal government and its own
initiative in identifying issues of medical care, research, and education.
