WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The newly- formed Essential Health Benefits Coalition today urged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to hold the cost and affordability of the essential health benefits package paramount as recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM).

• Iom Report Favors Gov Role in Cme

As soon as practical, members of the IOM committee wrote, the secretary of Health and Human Services should work to plan a public-private institute to help bring about a shift in CME, incorporating existing components but transitioning to continuing professional development, an educational model focused more on outcomes. IOM favors government involvement only as a catalyst.
