There is established a committee to be known as the Committee on Delivery System Reform and Program Integrity. The Committee shall be composed of 11 members appointed by the Comptroller General of the United States. Such members shall include individuals with national recognition for their expertise in health care delivery system reform and the related delivery of health care. Health care providers and patient advocates shall have adequate representation on the Committee. The Committee shall periodically submit to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Congress written recommendations, provided in a comprehensive report format, to further the goals of health care delivery system reform that generally aim to improve the quality of patient care, improve the health of populations, and reduce the cost of care.
The origin of these proposals can be derived from any initiative underway between the Department of Health and Human Services and any party, or other initiatives, national or regional in scope, that offer promise to accelerate the goals of delivery system reform or improve program integrity toward the goal of providing further stability to the appropriate Trust Funds under title XVIII of the Social Security Act.
