Critical themes in the current health care reform environment include: the role of government regulation in improving the quality of patient care; the use of data reporting and dissemination to inform patients, payers, and providers; and new efforts to reconfigure the relationship between hospitals and physicians. These themes are not new. They have been part of the nation's health policy discussion since at least the enactment of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA)—25 years ago. With the HCQIA, the federal government actively inserted itself into the health care quality regulatory scheme, created the National Practitioner Data Bank, and sought to impact hospital-physician relations in order to support peer review and adjust antitrust risks. The 2011 SIH/SIU Health Policy Institute explores these themes as the nation begins to implement the significant changes embodied in 2010's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
