ANA’s Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives for the 107th Congress Summarized in New Publication
Washington, DC -- The American Nurses Association (ANA) strives to promote health care policies that both further the goals of nursing and public health. Each year, through its Department of Government Affairs and Committee on Legislation, ANA’s legislative and regulatory initiatives are adopted and shared with nurses and policy makers. For each new Congress, these initiatives are published as a series of position papers. Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives for the 107th Congress conveys ANA’s current initiatives, which encompass a range of issues — appropriate nurse staffing, patient safety and advocacy, workplace health and safety, and continuing competence — and aim to focus the work of the organization.
Designed as a tool to inform the health care debate, Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives for the 107th Congress outlines ANA’s goals, priorities, and issues for the 107th Congress. It clearly and succinctly communicates ANA’s legislative efforts on behalf of its constituent member organizations. Accordingly, it should also prove useful to other nursing organizations who might want to use ANA’s voice to enhance their own political leverage in their efforts. As well, instructors in nursing and health care public policy may also find this publication to be a helpful resource in the classroom.
For more details on these initiatives and related information, contact the Department of Government Affairs of the American Nurses Association at 202-651-7081.
