The blue and white “H” symbol is a beacon of healing, hope and health in every community nationwide.</p> <p>Despite this steadfast commitment, hospitals and health systems face formidable challenges. They continue to grapple with significant workforce shortages, escalating costs of care, inadequate government reimbursement and a heavy regulatory burden.</p> <p>In 2025, the ���������� Association (AHA) will engage with Congress, the Administration, regulatory bodies and the judiciary to shape public policy to advance hospitals’ efforts to provide quality patient care. The AHA also will focus on ensuring the long-term viability of hospitals to serve their communities and promote health and wellness.</p> <p>By addressing these challenges head-on, the AHA supports hospitals and health systems in their crucial role of caring for patients and advancing health, ensuring that the promise of the “H” symbol remains strong and reliable.</p> <p>Our 2025 Advocacy Agenda is focused on:</p> <ul class="diamond"> <li class="diamond"><strong>Ensuring Access to Care</strong></li> <li class="diamond"><strong>Strengthening the Health Care Workforce</strong></li> <li class="diamond"><strong>Advancing Quality and Health Care System Resiliency</strong></li> <li class="diamond"><strong>Leading Innovation in Care Delivery</strong></li> <li class="diamond"><strong>Reducing Health Care System Costs for Patient Care</strong></li> </ul> <p>The following includes a detailed list of our advocacy priorities and key highlights.

The pandemic fundamentally altered consumer behavior and expectations while reshaping traditional health care service delivery models. Large systems can experience delays in decision-making amid layers of review and internal deliberations. Add to this the entry of nontraditional provider competitors and technology disruptions and it becomes an imperative for health systems to continuously examine and improve operational and governance models. This Knowledge Exchange e-book examines how health system leaders are changing governance, decision-making and their operating models for the future.</p><div class="row">@media (min-width:768px){ .EDsponsorFloat{ float:right;

The committee recommends preexposure vaccination for people who work in laboratories doing research on orthopoxviruses; people who work in clinical laboratories performing testing to diagnose orthopoxviruses, certain people responding to orthopoxvirus-related public health investigations; and health care personnel who care for patients infected with orthopoxviruses or administer the ACAM2000 vaccine.</span></span></p> Tue, 31 May 2022 12:28:14 -0500 Advancing Best Practices for Hospitals & Health Systems Thu, 24 Feb 2022 14:31:56 -0600 Advancing Best Practices for Hospitals & Health Systems /center/project-firstline/teamstepps-video-toolkit/shared-mental-model Wed, 16 Feb 2022 12:34:09 -0600 Advancing Best Practices for Hospitals & Health Systems
