New Health Care Reform Materials
In the wake of the new federal health care reform law, the Washington
State Hospital Association (WSHA) has developed the first in a series
of materials:
- A powerpoint
presentation, with speaking notes, highlighting the law’s major
provisions to use during board or community presentations. The
powerpoint can also be shortened as necessary.
- A summary of major provisions with budgetary projections for Washington State. This summary is about 20 pages in length.
For those interested in more detail, the American Hospital Association (AHA) has a health care reform website,
including a powerpoint for use with community groups and a summary of
the law. (Must be a member of AHA to access these documents.)
WSHA continues to look at modeling the budgetary impacts of the health
care reform law. As information becomes available, the Health
Information Program will be sending you hospital specific
information. The first in a series of reports will be available
in the next several weeks.
WSHA staff are also available to make a presentation on the law at your hospital’s board or management meetings.
For more information on the law, please contact Chelene Whiteaker, Director, Advocacy and Policy, at chelenew@wsha.org or 206-216-2545.
