The Affordable care act was passed into law in 2010 with most of the changes on this bill taking effect in 2013 however.

In consideration of this, the new billensures that most of the patient bills are paid by the government. This bill is directedtowards meeting the needs of the lower income earners who encounter challenges in meeting their medical bills (Hellier&Cline, 2016).

Currently, it is important to understand that close to 389 hospitals have achieved the Magnet status in the United States with close to 20 medical facilities located in California. According to studies, Magnet hospitals are considered to have a higher patient satisfaction rate, with fewer repeat admissions thus promising the patients of their safety, and an overall patient management.
To get the Magnet status remains an uphill task that requires the commitment of health institutions in ensuring better services are delivered to the patients. The hospital needs to consider integrating measures towards improving their nurse satisfaction rate. It is subservient that the theory of nursing leadership and...
