What was one of the focuses of the ANA's Health System Reform Agenda?

The focus on case management for enduring health care needs in the ANA's Health System Reform Agenda reflects a recognition of the complexities involved in managing chronic conditions and the importance of coordinating patient care over time and across various healthcare settings. This approach aims to ensure that individuals with chronic conditions receive comprehensive and continuous care, improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs associated with fragmented services. By emphasizing case management, the ANA supports a more patient-centered model that fosters better communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, ultimately leading to more effective management of enduring health care needs.

In contrast, the other options relate to specific areas of healthcare but do not capture the broader intent of reforming the system to prioritize long-term care management and coordination. For example, emphasis on acute care services might neglect the ongoing needs of patients with chronic conditions, while improving hospital administration and expanding emergency services can enhance specific functions within the healthcare system but do not directly address the issue of case management for enduring needs.
