The Quality of Care in Nursing Homes in the 21st Century
Grant Summary
To examine how our nation delivers, regulates, finances, and measures the quality and safety of nursing homes, with special emphasis on challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is establishing a nursing home study. The committee will consider a broad range of issues including: policies and care models to promote care innovation, structural design, operations management, staff training, emergency preparedness and inclusion of family caregivers. Working with health professionals, scientists and other experts, NASEM will obtain authoritative, objective, and scientifically balanced answers to difficult questions. The committee will develop a set of consensus findings and recommendations to ensure that high-quality care is consistently provided to all nursing home residents, and to ensure the safety of nursing home residents and staff.
