The Supreme Court’s recent summer decision in Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County, Indiana, et al. v. Talevski has raised the stakes for nursing homes by ruling that private litigants may bring civil claims against facilities to recover damages for violations of certain provisions of the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act (FNHRA). This decision provides powerful incentives for nursing homes and other facilities subject to the FNHRA to enhance their monitoring and compliance processes.

Patients no longer need to be tied to traditional care delivery models to receive exceptional care. Providers, payers and policymakers must continue working together to expand home-based health care and meet the preferences and needs of our aging population.

The critical, pragmatic steps involved in developing patient-centric and equitable care for the nursing home patients came only very recently when medically advanced home hemodialysis therapies were repurposed and modified for use in the elderly frail nursing home dialysis patient populations

Covid-19 has highlighted the critical importance of increased communication and transparency between acute and post-acute providers, and the immediate need for more diverse acute and post-acute care options.

IntelyCare, a healthcare staffing solution for post-acute care, raised $45 million in equity and debt financing. The startup uses its software to match nurses with open shifts, adjusting pricing accordingly.

A new Frost and Sullivan report suggests that post-acute care facilities could strengthen their positions in an increasingly competitive landscape by integrating continuous monitoring technology and improving the outcome of high acuity patients.
