Abstract
Abstract This chapter covers the regulation of healthcare professionals and facilities in the United States. In the midst of an era of great policy uncertainty, the quality of healthcare in the United States is regulated by a number of different actors and rules. This chapter seeks to summarize the types of regulation that govern American healthcare professionals and institutions while providing an overview for comparison with European counterparts. After summarizing the general themes of quality regulation in the United States, the first part of the chapter covers the regulation of professionals—including the self-regulatory state-based system, the government certification regime, and the reimbursement-based voluntary system. The second part of the chapter focuses on the regulation of healthcare institutions, focused primarily on government accreditation and reimbursement-based regulation. In addition to summarizing the basic structure of healthcare regulation for professionals and institutions, new developments and challenges in American health law and policy will be highlighted throughout the chapter.
