Advisory Board

ICER has an advisory board which provides strategic guidance to ICER’s leadership team. Each of ICER’s core programs also has a non-governing advisory board. Composed of leading representatives from provider groups, public and private payers, patient groups, and purchasers, the program advisory boards help ensure that all reviews are actionable for a variety of stakeholders.
