Wednesday, Sept. 30 Briefing
Join national leaders for a conversation about the future of nursing homes
On the heels of the release of the independent Commission on Safety and Quality in Nursing Homes report, join aging experts Terry Fulmer and Chris Koller for a question and answer session, moderated by the Los Angeles Times’ Noam Levey, as they discuss strategies to improve quality of care and next steps regulators, legislators, payers, providers, researchers and advocates should take to ensure nursing home quality and safety.
The conversation is follow up to a NAM Perspectives commentary in which Fulmer, Koller and Columbia University’s John Rowe argue that current nursing homes were not designed for—and cannot financially withstand—infectious disease outbreaks, particularly when their staff are often too few in number and inadequately paid, protected and trained.
