HSC's New Direction | Mission and Vision

In its six years, HSC has:

  • Designed, launched and refined a major data collection effort focused on private-market dynamics. Currently in its third round, the Community Tracking Study includes multiple, national surveys and visits to local communities. This combination of surveys and site visits provides HSC with a real-world focus and the ability to examine the interplay among health care sectors and between the private market and public policy at the community and national levels.

  • Established a policy research program noted for its objectivity and focused on providing information for policy makers concerned about growing numbers of uninsured, rising costs, access to care under managed care and other pressing policy issues.

  • Developed a visible public affairs effort, including numerous publications, regular conferences, extensive contact with news media and ongoing interaction with the health policy community.

To continue building on the success the organization has achieved, HSC leaders embarked on a strategic-planning process in 2000, gathering input from HSC staff, the HSC Board—especially Harold Beebout—and key individuals at RWJF and MPR.

Through the strategic-planning process, HSC honed its mission, crafted a vision statement to chart the organization’s course and developed goals and objectives to enhance the policy impact of HSC’s research.
