Moving Forward on Health Reform: Optimal Health for All 

Conference Overview

As front line health care providers, NCAPIP members are aware of the health disparities so many Americans continue to face. The conference seeks to engage leaders across the nation in discussions and resolutions on how to move forward on health reform to achieve optimal health for all.

The ACA Policy Backdrop

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides the backdrop for this action-oriented conference, a blueprint for more patient centered care, a means to improve the system and the way we view patient health overall, and an opportunity for all of our communities to get optimal care. This is a dialog to draw out how agencies are intending to implement ACA and be sensitive to our communities.  As a community of health providers and health professionals we are well aware that now, not later, is the time to provide a collective voice to ensure meaningful implementation of this landmark bill. 

Diabetes, mental health, and the medical workforce are three specific topics that also will be brought to the forefront on May 18^th-19^th in Arlington.  With actionable plans set to be created by participants for each of these three topics, together we can help bridge the gap of health disparities among our communities and bring us closer to the goal of optimal health for all. 

Friday May 18^th: Two Concurrent Meetings

AANHPI Diabetes Coalition Convening and Conference

The AANHPI Diabetes Coalition will convene in follow up of the September 2011 symposium entitled: “Diabetes in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders: A Call to Action.”

Workforce and Leadership to Meet our Populations’ Needs

Being a physician in America is a privilege, and with it comes a responsibility to lead and assure that a medical workforce is patient centered, thus responsive to the people they serve and reflective of diverse populations. In addition this workforce must have the necessary core competency training.

In 2014,  there will be 32 million Americans newly insured through the Affordable Care Act.  How should and how will our health workforce be transformed to meet the current and future needs of our populations?  At the end of the session there will be an action plan created that addresses the need for a more patient-centered workforce.
