Distributed Healthcare is clinically governed by the American Healthcare Quality Board (AHQB), an Expert Board with reimbursement-schedule authority, safe-harbor practice guidelines, and quality-monitoring intervention powers. The Healthcare Cost Brake macrogovernor enforces cost discipline within statutory bounds. Anti-cream-skimming architecture explicitly prevents provider, patient, and geographic inequities. Pharmaceutical pricing references international comparators.
