Dr. Lawrence Casalino: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

Dr. Lawrence Casalino, the Livingston Farrand Professor of Public Health and professor of healthcare policy and research, was in April appointed senior advisor to Richard Kronick, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The agency's mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable and affordable, and to work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.
