The Health Policy Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association was founded in 1994. Our primary objective is to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of health care in the United States and abroad through the systematic use of quantitative statistical methods. HPSS fosters the development of statistical methods specifically designed for health care and policy decision-making by organizing and sponsoring conferences and workshops on methodological issues relevant to health care and policy research. We also cooperate with government agencies to develop new ways to analyze their data, offering assistance to legislators and their staffs with their decision-making process.
