ABOUT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

MCDIN is advised and supported by a fourteen-member Advisory Committee that meets quarterly. Members include representatives from medicine, nursing, quality improvement, healthcare administration, education, academia, and government. The committee is responsible for helping the Project Staff understand the needs and interests of our primary customers - Massachusetts health care professionals and institutions working to improve the clinical outcomes of those living with chronic illness. Advisory Committee members volunteer their time for their work with MCDIN.
