Title: Department of Health Care Policy

URL: https://hcp.hms.harvard.edu/

Collection: Institutional Archives

Description: The Department of Health Care Policy (HCP) at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, aims to improve the health of the public through improved health policy. HCP was the result of a partitioning of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology (PCME) in 1988 (other partitions include the Department of Preventive Medicine, also in 1988, and the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention in 1993). HCP was founded due to an evolving belief that health care policy was becoming more relevant to physicians at all stages of their careers, and because of the pending arrival of Joseph P. Newhouse, PhD, as the new leader of the university-wide Division of Health Policy Research and Education. Barbara J. McNeil, MD, PhD, formerly PCME Professor of Clinical Epidemiology, led in its development and later became head of the department. HCP founders Paul D. Cleary, Arnold M. Epstein, and Barbara J. McNeil, along with statistician Constantine Gatsonis, social scientist Edward Guadagnoli, and colleagues from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, organized a collaborative research project--one of the first Patient Outcome Research Teams (PORTs) on acute myocardial infarction. This grant provided a model for research that continues to this day; specifically, multidisciplinary groups that always have a statistician devoting a significant amount of time to the project, a physician, and one or two social scientists. There were several proposed names to this department before HCP was chosen, including the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research, the Department of Health Services Research, and the Department of Medical Practice and Policy Analysis. These multiple names are referenced throughout early documentation of the evolving department.
