CBO has a panel of health advisers consisting of widely recognized experts in health policy. Members of the panel have a variety of backgrounds, areas of knowledge, and experience. We host periodic meetings of the advisers at our office and solicit their views between meetings via e-mail exchanges and conference calls. Through these interactions, we benefit from the advisers understanding of cutting-edge research and the latest developments in health care delivery and financing. As a result, the quality of CBO's analysis of health policy is greatly enhanced. (The agency also has a panel of economic advisers, which I will discuss in an upcoming blog entry.) The health advisers for 2009 and 2010 are:
