Advancing Health Podcast
2017 Advocacy Agenda
Hospitals and health systems are transforming the way health care is delivered in their communities, working with other providers and community leaders to build a continuum of care to make sure every individual gets the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.
In order to continue this transformation, and to provide patients with the access to care they need and expect, hospitals need a supportive and modernized public policy environment. In 2017, the American Hospital Association (AHA) is working with Congress, the Administration, the courts and other agencies to uphold our strategic commitments to:
- Access – The AHA is committed to ensuring all Americans have affordable and equitable health, behavioral and social services.
- Value – The AHA is committed to ensuring hospitals and health systems provide the best care that adds value to patients’ lives.
- Partners – The AHA is committed to embracing the diversity of individuals, and serving as partners in their health.
- Well-being – The AHA is committed to focusing on patient well-being in partnership with community resources.
- Coordination – The AHA is committed to providing seamless care propelled by teams, technology, innovation and data.
