AANA testifies before PPRC on federal healthcare reform.

The AANA shares President Clinton's view that health system reform must center on increased patient access to care, the need for care to be provided in a cost-effective manner, and that quality of care should not be diminished. The AANA believes that CRNAs can play a critical role in health system reform because for more than a century they have provided a model of how patients can have access to high quality, cost-effective health services, specifically anesthesia services.
