Abstract

Healthcare costs, which now comprise 13.4% of the United States gross national product, continue to increase. President Clinton has placed healthcare reform on the national agenda, sparking nationwide debate. The President's plan will have an impact on all healthcare providers. As a result of this proposal, changes in the health care delivery system are occurring. The endoscopy setting will not be immune to these changes. In this article, the authors explore the possible impact of healthcare reform on nurses in general and, in particular, nurses in the endoscopy setting.
