Shift Change: The First 100 Days of the New Congress and Presidential Administration Part 1 | Part 2 |
A flurry of executive orders issued in the opening days of this administration are impacting health workers and emergency care. A new ACEP resource, Navigating Immigration Enforcement in the Emergency Department, explains what to do should ICE officers present themselves in your ED.
As questions about new dynamics in government agencies undoubtedly arise, ACEP is cutting through the noise to make sure that your concerns are heard by key decisionmakers at all levels.
ACEP has a full slate of meetings with new and returning legislators in Congress. While staying on top of all the new changes, we are focused on longstanding ACEP priorities, including the boarding crisis, preventing violence in emergency departments, enhancing your autonomy on the job, and more.
With new leadership focused intently on deregulation and disruption, we are eager to explore opportunities related to insurance reform, boarding, and hospital transparency. We will seize every chance to call for fixes to the implementation of the No Surprises Act, advance tort reform, and champion your priorities as determined by the ACEP Council, the deliberative body that empowers emergency physicians to vote to determine ACEP policies.
