Physician Prescribing

Nursing home administrators, physicians, hospitals, drug companies, and Medicare are among the major influences on the patient’s experience of skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. Administrators are concerned with selecting patients with high levels of Medicare reimbursement; physicians tend to regard SNF care as low status and unrewarding; hospitals use the SNF as a safety valve allowing for early discharge; drug companies work with regional medical distributors to influence physician prescribing; and Medicare tries to promote quality by using an elaborate system of quality indicators, mandating state inspections or surveys, and reimbursing care so as to encourage maximal use of physical therapy.

Abstract We characterized serology following a nursing home outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) where residents were serially tested by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and positive residents were cohorted. When tested 46–76 days later, 24 of 26 RT-PCR–positive residents were seropositive; none of the 124 RT-PCR–negative residents had confirmed seropositivity, supporting serial SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing and cohorting in nursing homes.
