It's an exciting time to be learning about health and health care in America and TDI is on the cutting edge of U.S. reform efforts. The Institute's cognoscenti just published a white paper outlining some of the issues that should be high on the new president's list of priorities.
Not only do we study the data that informs these policy leaders' opinions, but Elliott Fisher, James Weinstein, and others come to our classes and fill in all the details. It's really inspiring to hear their thoughts and then later see their comments and opinions appear in the Wall Street Journal, NEJM, or the NYTimes. We look forward to posting updates during the next few months about what we learn and how it will prepare us for leading change in health care.
As we at TDI speed headlong into a new term, I also thought it might be worthwhile to post the mission, vision and values of the Institute in the first blog post of 2009:
An Ambitious Mission: The Dartmouth Institute aspires to be the preeminent research and educational institution devoted to the ongoing reform of the U.S. health care system.
An Altruistic Vision: To achieve a patient-centered, high-quality, cost-effective health care system with access and excellence for all.
A Core of Values: We believe in commitment, education, excellence, dignity, integrity, diversity, trust and respect for all.
Happy New Year.
