CRITICAL CARE WORKFORCE LEGISLATIONThe ACCP, as part of the Critical Care Workforce Partnership, has been working together with Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to create policy that addresses the critical care workforce shortage. On February 28, 2007, that effort was realized when the new Patient-Focused Critical Care Enhancement Act was introduced on Capitol Hill. The Patient-Focused Critical Care Enhancement Act (S 718) raises awareness about the critical care workforce shortage by calling for appropriations for projects that optimize the delivery of critical care medicine and expand the critical care workforce. The proposed legislation is based on a May 2006 report from the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). |
