McClellan Joins Think Tank

WASHINGTON–Former CMS Administrator Mark McClellan will join
the American Enterprise Institute-Brookings Institution Joint
Center for Regulatory Studies to work on ideas to improve the
nation’s health care.

As a visiting senior fellow, McClellan will focus on ways to
eliminate excess health care costs through safe and effective new
treatments and payment and regulatory system reforms. He will
remain a professor of economics and an associate professor of
medicine at Stanford University, from which he is on leave.

McClellan resigned as CMS administrator Oct. 14. CMS Deputy
Administrator Leslie Norwalk has assumed duties as acting
administrator (see HomeCare Monday, Oct. 2).
