Abstract:
This spring, an HFMA Chairman's Task Force on Healthcare Reform identified nine elements that ideally would be included in any healthcare reform plan that ultimately becomes law. The purpose of the panel was not to add yet another proposal to the many in existence, but rather to provide policymakers and members with a structure for analysis of reform proposals being introduced. The Association's Board of Directors adopted the nine elements which together comprise a healthcare reform framework. The following task force report provides additional explanation of the framework's elements.
