featuring David Hoffman and Jerry Seelig, that address the study that has all of us talking
Greetings!
We share a special issue this week that combines our friends at VOX and LTC Heroes Podcast as well as two of our team, David Hoffman and Jerry Seelig. Today we bring you an in-depth review of the issues raised in the VOX article"Private equity ownership is killing people at nursing homes." VOX points you to a new study "Does private equity investment in health care benefit patients? Evidence from nursing homes" that concludes "When private equity firms acquire nursing homes, patients start to die more often."
Today's special Revitalize issue brings you the VOX story, the study, and two podcasts with David Hoffman and Jerry Seelig (coauthors of a recent Philadelphia Inquirer OpEd), which are great companion resources to the issues summarized in VOX and reviewed in great depth in the study.
Host Peter Murphy skillfully interviews Hoffman and Seelig to further expand your understanding of the financial structure of the long-term care industry, the regulatory process, as well as reviewing what we can do working together to improve care in your facility and industry wide.
In Episode Six, David Hoffman, president of David Hoffman & Associates, PC, shares his insight on overcoming the regulatory and care delivery challenges associated with nursing homes and other LTC facilities. In Episode Two, Jerry Seelig, founder and CEO of Seelig+Cussigh HCO LLC,details his experience with resolving a variety of financial and care issues at Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) through a process known as Rapid Intervention.
"What accounts for such a significant loss of life when private equity takes over a nursing home?" is the question posed by VOX based on their review of DOES PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT IN HEALTHCARE BENEFIT PATIENTS? EVIDENCE FROM NURSING HOMES" Hoffman and Seelig offer you insights into how we are now asking the question and what we can do to ensure quality resident care and safety regardless of who owns a facility.
