1: Recommandations
This Council was established by Congress in recognition of the absence of such a formal body of advisors to the Secretary,
HHS and Director, AHRQ on matters related to AHRQ. It is the Agency's responsibility, under law, to enhance the quality, appropriateness,
and effectiveness of health care services and access to such services through scientific research and the promotion of improvements
in clinical practice, organization, financing, and delivery of health care services. The currently serving Council members
represent expertise in a variety of areas such as managed care, health services research, direct care delivery, consumer health
and law, health economics, and health benefits. It is the intent of the Congress that advice and assistance in this area be
provided by a broadbased representative group of distinguished individuals. The Council is governed by provisions of P.L.
92-463 (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and use of advisory committees.
