Nursing Home Ownership Transparency
Private equity (PE) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) are increasingly investing in nursing homes.
In 2022, the Biden administration announced a series of reforms aimed at improving nursing home ownership transparency and accountability.
In the March issue of Health Affairs, Amanda Chen of Harvard University and her team of coauthors evaluate the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ publicly available ownership data ([link removed] ) .
The researchers find gaps in this data, noting that “only a third of the PE investments and fewer than a fifth of the REIT investments identified in the proprietary files were also present in CMS’s change of ownership file.”
The researchers make a series of recommendations for improving the accuracy and completeness of ownership data.
Next week, A Health Podyssey will feature a conversation between Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil and author Amanda Chen as they explore the study's findings.
