HHS Launches New Consumer-Focused Health Care Website

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled a consumer-focused website — www.HealthCare.gov — mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The website provides information on ACA implementation, quality rankings for local health care providers and information on preventive services.

To facilitate networking, complimentary copies of the directory are being sent to member hospital CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CNOs, human resources executives and media spokespeople. The directory also is being sent to key health care system executives, and Executive, Associate and Personal members. More than 6,500 top management staff are listed, along with their titles, addresses and phone numbers.

Patient Rights

California and federal laws give hospital patients many rights. Hospitals must notify patients of these rights by giving patients a handout and/or by putting posters up in the hospital. CHA has developed a sample handout that hospitals may use to notify patients of their rights under state hospital licensing regulations, the Medicare Conditions of Participation, and The Joint Commission. In addition, CHA publishes a corresponding poster.
