With the addition of a full-time policy analyst to work on state legislative issues, the ACNM policy staff has had a busy year. We have worked together to develop and update numerous policy resources for use by ACNM chapters and members. Many of these are listed in the new resource catalogue included in the last issue of Quickening . But we wanted to highlight them for you in this article because we think they will be very helpful as you lobby on state and federal issues and attempt to compete in the marketplace with other health care providers. The summary tables on certification, regulation, CEUs, graduate practice, degree preparation, Medicaid and third party reimbursement, birth centers, and prescriptive authority are also now available on the ACNM website.
Members can obtain tip sheets through a subscription or purchase of back issues.
All tip sheets are available on the ACNM website. Visit the website for regular policy updates. We've integrated state legislation into our entire workshop agenda. This is an excellent opportunity to network with members, learn more about the ACNM policy agenda and discover how these issues effect your work and survival in the health care marketplace. We encourage you to take advantage of these new resources and to work closely with chapter leadership to coordinate your policy activities.
