 Testimony by Ronald
Hunsicker, President/CEO National Association of
Addiction Treatment Providers before The Institute of Medicine
The
Institute of Medicine has identified six aims for the delivery of
high quality health care.
Those aims were first introduced in the Crossing
the Quality Chasm and include:
safe, effective, patient-centered, timely,
efficient and equitable. The National Association
of Addiction Treatment Providers supports those overall aims for a
quality health care delivery system
and urges the IOM to work to include Addictive Disease into
the total understanding of a health care
delivery system. We further urge the IOM to address
the inherent differences in addressing chronic diseases vs. acute
disease symptoms as
it builds a plan for the future.
