What are the hot issues in long-term care?

Financing (short-term) - state budgets are in serious trouble, and that puts serious pressure on Medicaid.

Post-acute bundling of payment - see previous post.

Nursing - good news, the lousy economy may be pushing more nurses back into the workforce. Bad news, are these the quality nurses we want?

Transparency - should ownership of facilities be more transparent to the public?

Home and community based services for the disabled
