FIFTY-SIXTH WYOMING LEGISLATURE
APPROVED INTERIM COMMITTEE STUDIES
2001-2002
LONG TERM CARE
SUBCOMMITTEE
OF THE
JOINT LABOR, HEALTH AND
SOCIAL SERVICES INTERIM COMMITTEE
· Removal of restrictions on nursing home bed construction; redo of reimbursement formulas so we don't get stuck with financial risk if someone overbuilds (treat small sole provider communities differently than competitive markets?)
· Oversight of rebasmg
· Should reimbursement vary with acuity of patients?
· Quality of care: interplay with reimbursement; excessive gov't regulations diverting skilled nursing staff from patient care to paperwork
· Assisted living follow-up: to what extent will skilled nursing services be provided within the assisted living framework?
