Occupational Health & Safety: Nearly every trend in occupational health and safety (OH&S) right now can be traced back to one source: the Affordable Care Act (ACA). One of the most impactful and controversial pieces of legislation in recent memory has been rewriting every level of the American health care system. Some 20 million more patients have gained insurance through the ACA, and new mandates are driving employers to take greater responsibility for their workers’ health. This growing volume of patients and the different directives for employers alone are fundamentally changing the roles of physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), and registered nurses (RNs) in the industry.
