It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses that the registered professional school nurse (hereinafter referred to as the school nurse) serves a vital role in the delivery of health care to our nation’s students within the health care system reshaped by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, commonly known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This law presents an opportunity to transform the health care system through three primary goals: expanding access, improving quality, and reducing cost (U.S. Government Printing Office, 2010). School nurses stand at the forefront of this system change and continue to provide evidence-based, quality interventions and preventive care that, according to recent studies, actually save health care dollars (Wang et al., 2014). NASN supports the concept that school nursing services receive the same financial parity as other health care providers to improve overall health outcomes, including insurance reimbursement for services provided to students.
全国学校护士协会的立场是，在由2010年《患者保护与平价医疗法案》（通常称为《平价医疗法案》，简称ACA）重塑的医疗保健系统中，注册专业学校护士（以下简称学校护士）在为我国学生提供医疗保健服务方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该法律提供了一个通过三个主要目标来转变医疗保健系统的机会：扩大医疗服务可及性、提高质量以及降低成本（美国政府印刷局，2010年）。学校护士站在这一系统变革的前沿，并继续提供基于证据的高质量干预措施和预防性护理，根据最近的研究，这些措施实际上节省了医疗保健费用（Wang等人，2014年）。NASN支持这样一种理念，即学校护理服务应与其他医疗保健提供者获得同等的财政待遇，以改善整体健康结果，包括为学生提供服务的保险报销。
