In an effort to better inform policymakers and all Ohioans, the Health Policy Institute of Ohio has released an online Health Policy Glossary.
HPIO has created what it hopes is an exhaustive list of terms most often heard in conversations about health policy. A printable pdf version also is available. We plan to continuously update the glossary with new definitions. To suggest additional terms, please contact nwiselogel@hpio.net.
To stay informed, subscribe to our mailing list and receive the most recent updates and publications from HPIO.
