The quotes below are about this issue:
Financial cuts are a prominent challenge in the health care industry. Many speak of having "to do more with less." Reimbursements for long-term care are being cut while demands for care are growing. Workloads are increasing with a push toward greater efficiency. The need to hire is not always matched with the financial capacity to hire.
| "With the Affordable Care Act, our reimbursement's going to be cut, so preventative health, making people healthier, is going to be so important. So, patient education is huge. We're not going to be reimbursed for re-admits. So, that's up to the nursing staff to do the education to keep the patients from coming back. It's a collaborative effort between the whole health care team, but teaching patients how to stay healthy is going to be key to the growth of our organizations. Otherwise, we're going to end up losing money because we won't be reimbursed for what we do." | Northeast |
| "Question: Any more about the Affordable Care Act that causes concern? Clearly, you have to avoid re-admittances and clearly more emphasis on getting results for chronically ill folks, but any other things? Employer: Well, reimbursement will be based on quality of care and [?]. There is a service piece along with it. Question: So, not just based on results? Employer: The whole experience, not just results." |

| "We have the old labor contracts and other things that might have something in there about ratios of patients to nurses. So, we can't go below that really, but they could be either the same or down to less. Probably not more." | Northeast |
