Health care facilities considering mandating staff vaccination face a difficult tradeoff. While additional vaccination coverage will directly reduce disease transmission within the facility, the imposition of a mandate may also cause vaccine-hesitant staff to quit, which could harm patient care. Authors study this tradeoff.

Journal Article
Despite widespread adoption of COVID-19 surveillance testing of staff in skilled nursing facilities (SNF), there is little evidence on its relationship with resident outcomes. Authors performed a retrospective cohort study of COVID-19 tests among staff of 13,433 SNFs from 2020–2022 in three periods (pre-vaccine; post vaccine/pre-Omicron; Omicron).

Journal Article
What is the association between severe COVID-19 outbreaks and U.S. nursing home staffing patterns? Staff absences and departures at nursing homes may put residents at risk and present operational challenges. Researchers quantify changes in nursing home facility staffing during and after a severe COVID-19 outbreak.

Journal Article
Nursing home staff are considered to be a source of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in nursing homes. The emergence of the B.1.617.2 (delta) variant has heightened concerns about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related illness and death in nursing homes, especially given the low vaccination rates among the staff at many facilities. These concerns prompted the federal government to mandate that staff at nursing homes be vaccinated.

Journal Article
Maximizing vaccination coverage among nursing home staff and residents is critical because of the extreme vulnerability of this population to COVID-19, but little is known about which nursing homes have been successful at achieving high vaccination coverage.

Researchers assess the magnitude of unreported cases and deaths in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) and provide national estimates of cases and deaths adjusted for nonreporting. This is a cross-sectional study comparing COVID-19 cases and deaths reported by U.S. nursing homes to the NHSN with those reported to state departments of health in late May 2020.

Journal Article
Authors aim to describe the association between nursing home staff turnover and the presence and scope of infection control citations. Secondary data for all U.S. nursing homes between March 31, 2017 through December 31, 2019 from Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ), Nursing Home Compare, and Long-Term Care Facts on Care in the U.S. was used for this study.
