COVID-19 And Unionized Nursing Homes
A new Health Affairs article, released ahead-of-print today, reveals the
association between union status and nursing home resident COVID-19
deaths
and worker infection rate from June 2020 through March 2021.
Adam Dean and coauthors determined nursing home labor unions were
associated with 10.8 percent lower resident COVID-19 mortality rates and
6.8 percent lower worker COVID-19 infection rates.
"Our results suggest that industrywide unionization would have been
associated with approximately 8,000 fewer resident deaths," they
write.

In a related article about the health care workforce, Christine Sinsky
and Mark Linzer penned a commentary in August 2020 outlining some of the
clinical care policy and practice changes prompted by the COVID-19
pandemic
that they believe should endure after the crisis has passed.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
In Health Affairs Forefront, Dian Baker and coauthors argue
hospital-acquired pneumonia is a significant patient safety issue
that must be addressed through federal policy, including the Medicare
program.
Katie Keith writes about new studies from the Kaiser Health Foundation
and Third Way that examine the impact of fixing the family glitch.
