The United States Department of Health and Human Services is the federal agency that is directly involved with the health and healthcare of U.S. citizens or refugees/asylees. The National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are three important organizations in which research is undertaken and used effectively to address key healthcare concerns such as HIV screening and care, address adverse events in hospital settings, and promote measures to decrease the rates of emerging infectious diseases.
