A new study by Mortenson show that while most healthcare providers express optimism about the future of U.S. healthcare overall, support for the healthcare law has lessened, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
While providers are becoming accustomed to the provisions of the healthcare law, nearly eight of 10 feel the legislation needs changes or revisions.
According to the 2015 Mortenson Healthcare Industry Study, despite these concerns, a majority of providers remain upbeat and express confidence in several other factors they believe can improve patient outcomes such as facility design, information technology, waste and energy reduction and environmental improvements.
Many providers acknowledge that the healthcare law – by causing providers to rethink how they provide services – will improve care over time.
