What Do Policy Makers Need to Know About the Impact of Federal Nursing Home Requirements During the Pandemic?
You can weigh in and make sure your voice is heard by taking advantage of this voluntary opportunity.The University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy invites nursing home administrators or other senior nursing facility staff to participate in a research project that will document the types and timing of policies implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevailing attitudes of both staff and residents/families to these policies. The researchers are looking for one response per facility from at least 500 nursing homes. The survey is confidential; your responses will not be linked to individual respondents in the final analysis. The research team plans to publish their aggregate findings in a peer-reviewed journal manuscript that will describe key similarities and differences across regions and facility types and use these insights to make evidence-based policy recommendations for future public health crises. Some respondents may be contacted for optional additional follow­-up interviews. You can learn more about this research project on the Greenwall Foundation website and in this Information Sheet (please review before responding to the survey). For additional questions, please contact Prof. Jakub Hlávka and the study team at LTCstudy@usc.edu.
