Committee on Quality of Health Care in America

The Committee on the Quality of Health Care in America, often called the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee, was established to assess and improve the quality of healthcare in the United States. Its goal is to identify ways to make healthcare safer, more effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. They analyze current healthcare practices, identify problems, and recommend strategies to enhance overall care. Their work helps guide policy, improve standards, and promote smarter, more coordinated healthcare systems for better patient outcomes.
