Georgia Legislature 2013 Healthcare Results

Legislating Health:  The 2013 Results by Andy Miller.  Georgia Health News.  March 28, 2013.

A great summary of Georgia legislative action, probably the highlight of which was the shift of power to levy the provider fee from the legislature to the Department of Community Health, thus ensuring a key component of Georgia Medicaid funding.  Two scope of practice measures failed;  one allowing pharmacists to administer vaccinations other than flu shots and another for allowing advanced practice nurses to order imaging tests.
