title: An issue-charged first year for AHA's Davidson.
abstract: Reclassification and reform were major issues in Richard Davidson's first year as president of the American Hospital Assn. Those issues, as well as a litany of other budget and legislative battles, promise to rank among his biggest challenges during his second year in office. He's cleared the first hurdle in the reform battle--finding a plan most AHA members can accept.
