Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to evaluate the effectiveness of Civil Monetary Penalties in improving nursing home care quality through mixed-methods research including data analysis and interviews.
Description
This project addresses the critical need to understand the impact of Civil Monetary Penalties (CMPs) on nursing home care quality across the United States. By integrating quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews with state surveyors and nursing home leaders, the study aims to evaluate whether CMPs effectively enhance care or unintentionally exacerbate care deficiencies. The findings will provide essential insights for federal and state policymakers and nursing home leaders to refine enforcement strategies and improve the overall quality of elder care.
