Mission: Optimize the Health Care Physical Environment Strategic Goals: Regulation,Reputation, and Capacity Strategic Imperative: Unified Code Strategic Imperative: Succession Planning Strategic Imperative: Commissioning Strategic Imperative: Value of Membership
Strategic Goal: Regulation Regulation: Our members will work in a regulatory environment characterized by: • Good science • Defensible economics • Informed policy-making • Clear decision authority • Representation: • National • Regional • State
Who Regulates Hospitals? Source: American Hospital Association http://www.aha.org/aha/trendwatch/2011/11mar-tw-costofcaring.pdf
Poor Codes Cost Money without Improving Safety • $6 billion a year wasted in operational costs because of unnecessary codes and standards • $10 billion a year wasted in capital costs because of unnecessary codes and standards • Small things could have a profound effect nationwide • $50 perUS citizen per year
Adoption of Unified Codes • Working on long term plan to develop a unified set of recommended codes for adoption • Objectives • Improve quality and increase access to healthcare using cost savings from conflicting, unnecessary and costly codes and regulations with little ROI • With unified voice, backed by identified values, leading the change to national codes.
Communication of Regulatory Issues • ASHE learns about local issues from chapter advocacy liaisons • Advocacy liaisons learn about national issues from ASHE www.ashe.org/advocacyhighway
Advocacy Liaisons • Advocacy leaders can help – but they have to know about the problem. • Communications through the Advocacy Highway are critical. • Advocacy Liaisons or Chapter Presidents must attend quarterly conference calls
