Represent the Commission and participate on task forces and work groups charged with the development and/or review of Commission and statewide policies regarding health care services delivery and financing.
  • Developing and implementing a research agenda for the Commission. This includes identifying areas of research with policy relevance to the Commission, prioritizing topics, reviewing literature related to topics chosen for study, and developing and implementing specific research plans.
