- Mission [1]
- The National Advisory Council (NAC) provides advice to the Secretary of DHHS and the Director, Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) on matters related to AHRQ activities to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of
healthcare for all Americans. As a result of the Agency's increased emphasis on strategic planning, the Agency has shifted
from a focus on output and process measurement to a focus on outcome measures. The NAC has been extremely helpful in working
through this process and new focus through in depth discussions at meetings held throughout the year. Individual NAC members
also work with Agency staff on an ongoing basis throughout the year needed.
