The Healthcare Policy Podcast ® Produced by David Introcaso

Podcast interviews with health policy experts on timely subjects. The Healthcare Policy Podcast website features audio interviews with healthcare policy experts on timely topics.

Among other topics this podcast will address: •Implementation of the Affordable Care Act •Other federal Medicare and state Medicaid health care issues •Federal health care regulatory oversight, moreover CMS and the FDA •Healthcare research •Private sector healthcare delivery reforms including access, reimbursement and quality issues •Public health issues including the social determinates of health Listeners are welcomed to share their program comments and suggest programming ideas.

I think this podcast made progress in my own personal recognition of the role of the nurse in healthcare. They should be able to be a financial component by being billed for their services. I am a student in HIT and was listening to this out of mere curiosity. I left feeling enlightened and somewhat inside of a loop. Thank you.
