The past year has been a busy and challenging time for nursing and health care issues. Given the continuing rise in health care costs and the shortage of nurses and other health care workers, 2001 promises to bring equal or greater challenges. AORN’s Government Affairs Department continues to focus on the four priorities recommended by AORN’s Legislative Committee and approved by the AORN Board of Directors in October-2000.
AORN will continue to keep its members informed about relevant legislation and regulatory changes and AORN’s position on the issues. For detailed information go on-line at http://www.aorn.org/govt.
