In the March issue of Health Affairs, John Bowblis of Miami University and his team of coauthors examine trends in the use of staffing agencies ([link removed] ) among freestanding nursing homes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The researchers find that between 2018–19, on average, 22.5 percent of nursing homes used any direct care agency nursing staff, but during 2022, this number rose to 49.1 percent.
Bowblis and coauthors also determine that in 2022 there was “significant variation in the use of agency staff across states.”
Vermont, New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania had more than 70 percent of nursing homes using any direct care agency nursing staff, while Oklahoma, Alabama, Washington, DC, and Arkansas had fewer than 30 percent of nursing homes using agency staff.
The share of hours worked by agency staff also increased from 3.2 percent in 2018 and 2019 to 11 percent in 2022.
To learn more about the paper's findings, listen to a recent episode ([link removed] ) of A Health Podyssey featuring a conversation between Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil and author John Bowblis.
