Alliance for Health Reform briefings are a valuable resource for congressional staff and journalists seeking the latest health policy information and analysis. In the coming year, the Alliance will conduct eight briefings on such topics as: enhancing primary care capacity, results of the Commission on a High Performance Health System's national scorecard, findings from the Fund's 2006 Health Care Quality Survey and new minority health chartbook, long-term care and patient-centered care, state policies promoting high performance, comparative effectiveness of drugs and treatments, and international health policy perspectives. The Congressional Staff Retreat is a unique opportunity for up to 100 senior health staff from both political parties to engage in an informal, off-the-record exchange of ideas. Retreat cofunding will be provided by the Catholic Health Association of the United States.
