Passing the Pop Quiz: How Nursing Homes Predict Inspections, and What It Costs Patients
About this episode
Maggie Shi discusses how the predictability of nursing home inspections impacts their effort levels and resident health.
In the United States, regulators inspect nursing homes to ensure compliance with quality, safety, and other standards. While these inspections are not technically announced, they are easy for nursing home staff to predict because they usually occur annually. In this episode of The Pie, Maggie Shi, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy, discusses how this predictability affects nursing homes' effort levels, and, in turn, resident health.
