Many of the elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into
effect in 2014, and with the establishment of many new rules and
regulations, there will continue to be significant changes to the
United States health care system. It is not clear what impact these
changes will have on medical and public health preparedness
programs around the country. Although there has been tremendous
progress since 2005 and Hurricane Katrina, there is still a long
way to go to ensure the health security of the Country. There is a
commonly held notion that preparedness is separate and distinct
from everyday operations, and that it only affects emergency
departments. But time and time again, catastrophic events challenge
the entire health care system, from acute care and emergency
medical services down to the public health and community clinic
level, and the lack of preparedness of one part of the system
places preventable stress on other components. The implementation
of the ACA provides the opportunity to consider how to incorporate
preparedness into all aspects of the health care system. The
Impacts of the Affordable Care Act on Preparedness Resources and
Programs is the summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of
Medicine's Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for
Catastrophic Events in November 2013 to discuss how changes to the
health system as a result of the ACA might impact medical and
public health preparedness programs across the nation. This report
discusses challenges and benefits of the Affordable Care Act to
disaster preparedness and response efforts around the country and
considers how changes to payment and reimbursement models will
present opportunities and challenges to strengthen disaster
preparedness and response capacities. Table of Contents Front
