The NCIOM was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1983 to serve as a non-political, independent source of analysis and advice on major health issues facing the state. Throughout its history, the NCIOM has been the leading source of information and public policy recommendations aimed at improving population health, health care access, and health care quality.
North Carolina faces many challenges as it strives to improve the health and well-being of North Carolinians. Solving these problems must start with objective, evidence-based research on potential solutions. The NCIOM works collaboratively with stakeholders from across the state to identify and build consensus around actionable solutions to the health challenges facing our state.
