David Grabowski, a highly respected thought leader and health care policy researcher will discuss why and how COVID19 compounded the preexisting crisis conditions in our nations nursing homes, the federal government role in supplying needed Protective Personal Equipment for health care workers, and
the importance of rapid results testing for healthcare worker
Knowing what we know about the impact of COVID19 on both nursing home residents and the health care workers who serve them, Dr. Grabowski will share his thoughts on the future of large bed nursing home facilities.
In addition, in the present climate, many people are opting to return home for therapy and care after hospitalization. If this trend continues beyond the COV19 crisis, this may not only affect the long term care industry, but impact our ability as a society to care for the every increasing number of older adults, especially those who have more skilled care needs.
