The conference was supported by the Health Care Financing Administration, Department of Health and Human Services.

This meeting summary was prepared by the staff of the Institute of Medicine's Division of Health Care Services, directed by Karl D. Yordy. Major 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.
