  • The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Issues Nursing Home Reform Report
April 7, 2022

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Committee on Quality of Care in Nursing Homes yesterday issued a report the nursing home financing, regulatory and delivery system.  The committee’s 605 page report concluded that “the way in which the United States finances, delivers, and regulates care in nursing home settings is ineffective, inefficient, fragmented, and unsustainable and called for  immediate action to initiate fundamental change is necessary.” The report mimics the recommendations made earlier this by President Biden in his state of the union address, which included higher minimum staffing ratios, increased oversight, better financial transparency.

The Committee’s report lists a series of recommendations with the goal of promoting high-quality, person-centered and equitable care. Specific recommendations include: implementing requirements for higher minimum nursing standards and increasing publicly available data on finances, operations and ownership of all nursing homes.
