Correct Answer: 3
ANA's Health Care Agenda 2005, stating the belief that access to health care is a basic human right and calling for a redirection "away from the overuse of expensive, technology-driven, acute, hospital-based services to a new model in which a balance is struck between high-tech treatment and community-based services that focus primarily on prevention." The document was again updated in 2008 and published as the ANA's Health System Reform Agenda. It calls for a restructured system of health care ensuring universal access to a standard package of essential healthcare services for all citizens and residents. This access should be affordable, available, and acceptable. Academic health centers, HMOs, and case manager are not identified as methods to address cost containment.
