Overview
Over the course of history in the United States multiple public health programs have been initiated. However, the predominance of quality, coverage, and affordability issues are emerged more strongly in the 21th century. Health policy is an increasingly significant priority at the state and national level due to the unsustainable cost of healthcare. The goals of healthcare reform and the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) have been to increase healthcare coverage and access to the vast majority of Americans and to improve both the quality of healthcare outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. This course will help nurses understand healthcare reform and be informed participants in its implementation.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Discuss the basic elements of the healthcare reform legislation.
