Health Care Reform: Overview
When it comes to healthcare in America, we seem to believe that more is better--but does more healthcare result in better health? As a nation, we spend more on healthcare per person than any European country, yet our health outcomes are worse. The PBS documentary, Money and Medicine was aired in 2012, and addresses one of the key issues of healthcare reform--the cost of health care. Watch the trailer below, or the entire episode here: http://video.pbs.org/video/2283573727/

The Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed in 2010, is a collection of laws that were created to reform health insurance and healthcare.
The ACA significantly impacts nurses both personally and professionally. Bedside nurses are impacted by organizational changes that affect patient care, and may be providing information and resources to patients and caregivers about the ACA. However, as Hynds, Hatch and Samuels (2014) noted, nurses indicate they need more knowledge to understand the ACA policy implications of their practice.
Now, you can either read the 974 pages of the law itself, or you can watch this short, animated video produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation, and visit the helpful online resources below:

Affordable Care Act: Five Years Later
The Commonwealth Fund has developed several online, interactive resources to illustrate the impact of the Affordable Care Act in its first five years of implementation. Through personal stories, population and health systems data analysis, and graphics, the Commonwealth fund paints the picture of the impact of the ACA on individuals, businesses, providers and healthcare systems. Take some time to explore these resources in preparation for this week's discussion board. Link: The Affordable Care Act: A Look Back at the First Five Years.

Patient-Centered Medical Home: The Call to ActionGreenway Health
The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is becoming widely acknowledged as the key to health care reform. Learn about the history and impetus behind this care delivery model, the ways in which it can strengthen the physician-patient relationship b moving from episodic care to coordinated care and the potential for increased reimbursements as an NCQA-certified PCMH.
Public Financial Management, Health Governance, and Health SystemsHFG Project
While the importance of governance in a health system is well recognized, there is an overall lack of evidence and understanding of the dynamics of how improved governance can influence health system performance and health outcomes. There is still considerable debate on which governance interventions are appropriate for different contexts. This lack of evidence can result in avoidance of health governance efforts or an over-reliance on a limited set of governance interventions. As development partners and governments are increasing their emphasis on improving accountability and transparency of health systems and strengthening country policies and institutions to move towards universal health coverage (UHC), the need of this evidence is ever rising.
To address this evidence gap, the USAID’s Office of Health Systems (USAID/GH/OHS), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Health Finance and Governance (HFG) Project launched an initiative in September 2016 to ‘Marshall the Evidence’ on how governance contributes to health system performance and improves health outcomes.
The overall objective of the initiative was to increase awareness and understanding of the evidence of what works and why in how governance contributes to health system performance, and how the field of health governance is evolving at the country level. This report provides a synthesis of the findings across the four themes. This report presents the findings of the Public Financial Management.
