The Impacts of the Affordable Care Act: How Reasonable Are the Projections? Jonathan Gruber NBER Working Paper No. 17168 June 2011 JEL No. H3,I18 ABSTRACT The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most comprehensive reform of the U.S. medical system in at least 45 years.

St. Agnes uses statistics to meet benchmark standards. Evidence-based medicine shows and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations recommends patients’ with community acquired pneumonia who receive antibiotic therapy within six hours of arrival to the acute care setting have improved outcomes (Anstett, Smallfield, Vlahaki, & Milne, 2010). At St. Agnes, raw data is collected regarding a patients “door to antibiotic” time. Every month these statistics are graphed and posted for the emergency department staff to view. This visual picture encourages staff to make and exceed the benchmark standards.
