CFSAC Recommendations - October 13-14, 2010

The specific recommendations articulated by the Committee are:

1. Develop a national research and clinical network for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/CFS) using regional hubs to link multidisciplinary resources in expert patient care, disability assessment, educational initiatives, research and clinical trials.  The network would be a resource for experts for health care policy related to ME/CFS.
2. Engage the expertise of CFSAC as HHS moves forward to advance policy and agency responses to the health crisis that is ME/CFS.
3. Adopt the term "ME/CFS" across HHS programs.
