4-A. Policy Update: The Shifting Landscape of Nursing Home Care

Nursing homes continue to navigate a continually shifting landscape as they redefine what it means to offer person-centered quality care and address myriad regulatory and operating challenges. These challenges include keeping up with changing regulations and ongoing updates to infection control protocols; navigating the Minimum Data Set, Nursing Home Care Compare, and the quality reporting program; and establishing a secure foothold in the world of value-based payments. Key staff from the Biden Administration will offer their insights into the government’s response to all these challenges. Congressional staff have been invited to discuss regulations, guidance, and legislative activity focused on staffing, emergency preparedness, behavioral health, and surveys. You’ll want to hear their take on what’s in store for nursing homes in 2024.
