S H Siegel
View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Because of disclosure requirements contained in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, nursing facilities should review their admission agreement documents. The new rules become effective on Oct. 1 and cover resident rights, rules of conduct, and other expectations during a nursing home stay. Information contained in admission agreements, along with any changes, must be given to residents orally and in writing.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
