Nursing homes have been ground zero and the “perfect storm” for the coronavirus pandemic. Residents and staff in these facilities account for a disproportionately large share of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States. COVID-19 has brought into clear view many problems that have lingered under the surface for years, including low quality of care, a broken payment model, ineffective regulation, and a lack of transparency related to nursing home residents’ health outcomes and experiences. In this session, Dr. Grabowksi will discuss how the pandemic might lead to changes in how we pay for, regulate, and deliver nursing home services.
