Patient Protection
& Affordable Care Act
One of the resources listed for this week is the American Association of Colleges of Nursing overview of specific sections of PL 111-148 (AACN, 2010). The AACN dissected the provisions from the law which deal with nursing practice such as education, workforce development, primary and preventative care, health promotion, improving patient outcomes, coordinating care, and patient and provider rights (AACN, 2010). I want you to review this document and post what section you like most and why. Give at least 1 reason you think this will improve nursing practice and/or patient care. You can access the document at the link provided or within your online classroom portal.
