Probing the Incentives that Shape Eldercare

Brian McGarry's research at the University of Rochester has focused on the ways that financial and economic factors affect care in nursing homes — a particularly vital topic as the sector continues to debate a contentious proposed staffing mandate, which could have a significant impact on providers in the years to come. McGarry joins CFI's Alex Spanko for a discussion on the ways that incentives — sometimes intentionally, and sometimes unintentionally — affect quality and satisfaction in nursing homes, as well as the ways that policymakers can better link financial success with the services, supports, and outcomes that truly matter to elders and caregivers.
