Law Making In Theory
• Words as Law affect us• In theory it is a simple process:
– Bill Dropped in Hopper– Referred to Subcommittee/Committee– Hearings– Rules Committee Determinations– Floor– Conference– Floor

How Do You Get What You Want?
• Persuasion?
• Influence?
• Power?

ALLIED HEALTH LEGISLATION IMPERATIVES
• Workforce– Current Personnel Shortages– Student Enrollment Declines– Faculty Shortages
• Demography– Aging of Population– Fastest Growth in Oldest Cohorts
• Epidemiology– Chronic Conditions/Disability
![Page 14: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Is Allied Health?
• It’s NOT:
Nursing, Physician Assistants, Public Health, Chiropractic, Health Administration, Clinical Psychology, Social Work, or Counseling
![Page 15: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why Workforce Reform is Critical
• 60-70% of health care is labor costs
• Big part of any employment sector
• It Limits access, spurs cost increases, and directly affects quality
![Page 16: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Broad Trends Affecting the Health Care Workforce:
• Changing Demographics
• Shifting Epidemiology
• Economic Disparity and Cost
• Technological Innovations
• Change from supply to market driven health system

Demography - Aging
Issues
• Impact on demand for health care
• Rising cost of care
• Adequate workforce
• Intergenerational equity
• Uneven across the nation

Demography - Aging
• Triple witching• Aging workforce• Fewer new workers• Care demands and
needs of an aging population
• …but, the devil in the details

Consumer
Issues• Wants choice ….but at what price?• Increasingly willing to buy value… quality,
access and cost• Needs are more segmented then care
systems acknowledge…build it and they will come
• Inevitable exposure to more costs … will look for help to address

Continued Disequilibrium in Health Care
• Costs--Total system costs are a huge burden
• Variation--Enormous range in definition of quality
• Over/under supply of care providers, hospitals, insurers.
• Duplication--Substitutable inputs• Access--+15% uninsured
![Page 39: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How Did This Emerge?
Past• Constantly expanding health system
• Little accountability - cost or quality
Transition from simple and independent to complex and highly interdependent
![Page 40: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What is driving the issue?
Stressed care delivery system and institutions– Tighter resources– Lack of direction– Greater demands
• Technology
• Quality – Job cuts – Uncertainty– Inability to adapt and change rapidly
![Page 41: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Changing nature of work– Faster– Flatter– Flexible
• Changing demographics– Race/Ethnicity– Aging Population
• New values– Women in labor market– Gen X workers
![Page 42: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
New Values
• Next Generation Worker Want:
• Service oriented• Anti-institutional• Not hierarchical• Flexible, change
welcoming • Diversity• Technology• New skills• Community of work
Hospital Image• Staff is on strike, laid-off,
or Angels of Mercy• Large, cold, unresponsive
institutions• Work is stressful, highly
structured, and un-fun• Tied to a professional
career, not open to change
![Page 43: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Problems
• Scope(s) of practice
• Professional Models
– Both unimaginative, traditional, turf building or turf keeping
![Page 44: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Angels of Mercy?
• The historical success of a profession rests fundamentally on the growth of its particular source of wealth and status—its authority. Acknowledged skills and cultural authority are to the professional classes what land and capital are to the propertied. They are the means of securing income and power.
Paul Starr--The Social Transformation of American Medicine
![Page 45: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Hippocratic Oath
• What is the first statement in this oath?
• We think it is, “above all (or first), do no harm”
• But. . .
![Page 46: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others.
![Page 47: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Modern Version of the Oath
• I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
![Page 48: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Beware Professional Interests:
• Policy history is guided by the interests of individual professions
• Population health concerns are secondary• Partnerships are accepted reluctantly• Guild mentality pervades everything• The future of health care should NOT be
determined by internecine struggles• Most are subject to the same demographic,
social, and economic pressures

We need to re-examine professional models
– Scopes of Practice– Specialist – Generalist relationship– Organization of professional governance– Financing of care services– Training and specialization– New skill acquisition– Continuing competence
![Page 52: Health Care Issues Legislation, Trends, Challenges for Respiratory Therapy Students](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649de65503460f94adf99f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Key Questions:
• What are the broad health workforce needs to be met?
• What changes must be made to meet those needs?
