| Description The Massachusetts Health Policy Forum was created in 1998 to bring public and private health care leaders together to engage in focused discussion on critical health policy challenges facing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Modeled after the successful National Health Policy Forum of George Washington University, the Massachusetts Forum conducts approximately four forums per year for an invited audience of health care leaders. Each Forum is preceded by the publication of an Issue Brief that discusses the background and context of the policy controversy under discussion. The mission of the Forum is to provide the highest quality information and analysis to leaders and stakeholders. The Forum provides an opportunity to identify and clarify health policy problems and to discuss a range of potential solutions. It is a collaboration of the Schneider Institute for Health Policy at Brandeis University’s Heller School, Health Care For All, and Citizens Programs Corporation. Publications on specific topics are available on our website: www.sihp.brandeis.edu/mhpf | |
