Health Reform Work Group

Health Reform Work Group

Policy development and economic analysis have been core competencies of the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) at Georgia State University (GSU) for more than two decades. When the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010, GHPC undertook comprehensive efforts to understand and translate the law for local, state, and national audiences. As health reform is once again being debated, GHPC is taking a leading role in analyzing current health reform proposals; building a knowledge base to inform decision making from a systems perspective; and helping stakeholders (government agencies, public health departments, hospitals, and other provider organizations) build their capacity to strategically plan in a time of health system transformation.
