Arizona's new budget makes a significant investment in our healthcare workforce and a new resource helps hospitals and healthcare systems strengthen the healthcare workforce. 

AzHHA updates on the latest healthcare legislation to be signed into law and a Supreme Court ruling on 340B. 

Letter outlines hospital response to the FY 2023 Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Prospective Payment System proposed rule.

New rules now align with CDC recommendations.

Shortages are expected to last until June.

AHCCCS will reinstate many of the standard member and provider processes.

 ​​Arizona currently ranks in the top 5 states experiencing the most severe healthcare staffing shortage, due to a combination of employee burnout, a large number of nurses retiring, and a lack of trained nurses to replace those leaving the workplace.

AzHHA urges OSHA to not finalize its interim final rule being that the rule will not provide any additional benefit beyond what hospitals have already done, and continue to do.

The 2022 legislative has officially surpassed the 100-day mark with no resolution on the state budget in sight.
