Ahead Of Print

In an article published ahead of print this week
<[link removed]>,
Robert Tyler Braun and coauthors investigate the role of real estate
investment trusts (REITs) in staffing US nursing homes.

REITs are corporations that invest in income-producing properties,
including for-profit nursing homes.

Using a novel database of REIT investments in US nursing homes and
Medicare cost data from 2013-19, Braun and coauthors determine that REIT
investment in a nursing home increased staffing hours per resident day
for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) by 2.15 percent and for certified
nursing assistants (CNAs) by 1.55 percent.

They also find that REIT investment in a nursing home decreased
registered nurse staffing in years 2 and 3 after investment,
"suggesting that REIT nursing homes may substitute relatively
inexpensive LPN and CNA care in place of more expensive RN care."

for a new Forefront series - "Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector
<[link removed]>."

Two articles were published this week as part of the series.

Erin Fuse Brown argues that a common set of definitions

can help clarify the policy debate about how to control private health
care prices and enable stakeholders to assess the impact of any proposed
policy change and identify which policy levers are being pulled.
