Answer
The patient protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is commonly known as the Obama Care legislation in 2010 to improve health care for United States citizens.
ACA has three main objectives in its operations: to expand Medicaid and to make it accessible to low-income individuals, improving health care costs and spending (“U.S. Affordable Care Act: Reflections and directions at the close of a decade,” 2019).
Impact of ACA on Clinical Care, Patients interactions and Workflow
The Obama Care has improved health care by increasing coverage and subsidizing health care cost for many U.S. citizens (Mcltyre & Song, 2019)
The policy also improves efficiency in inpatient care delivery by providing optimal healthcare programs.
Impact of ACA on System Implementation
• ACA has expanded the health insurance market, improved Medicaid, and made coverage fairer.
• Improved access to primary and preventative care and improve system performance (Ruffin 2019).
