This conference summary was prepared by the staff of the Institute
of Medicine's Division of Health Care Services, directed by Karl D.
Yordy, with the advice and assistance of the planning committee,
chaired by Paul B. Beeson. Major conference themes are reported to
provide highlights of the conference discussions; however, they do not
represent policy statements by the Institute of Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National
Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of 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.
The conference was supported by the National Research Council
Fund, a pool of private, discretionary, non-federal funds that is used
to support a program of Academy-initiated studies of national issues
in which science, technology, and health figure significantly.
