National Consumer Voice Webinar Recording: Nursing Home Staffing - Research Highlights Relationship Between COVID and Staffing
The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care held a webinar on July 17, "Nursing Home Staffing: Research Highlights Relationship Between COVID and Staffing."
Consumers have long believed that adequate numbers of well trained staff is essential to quality of care and quality of life. Two studies by Dr. Charlene Harrington and Dr. Yue Li look carefully at the relationship between staffing and the factors in COVID-19's spread. The research findings also address the importance of RN staffing and point out racial disparities in nursing home care.
During the webinar, Drs. Harrington and Li explained their recent findings and what they tell us about COVID, facilities and residents. How these findings can be applied to consumer advocacy on the state and national level was discussed, and the importance of additional consumer driven research was highlighted.
