Assuring Quality Nursing Home Care: A Case of 'Market Failure'Lawrence A. FrolikUniversity of Pittsburgh - School of Law Stephanie R. Galloaffiliation not provided to SSRN Ethics, Law, and Aging Review, Vol. 9, p. 43, 2003 U. of Pittsburgh Legal Studies Research Abstract: Current attempts to ameliorate nursing home market failure have proven inadequate. What is needed is a more dramatic economic empowerment of nursing home residents. Enhanced use of regulation, encouraging advocacy for nursing home residents, better dissemination of information about nursing home quality, and more aggressive ombudsmen programs would help. In the end, however, the only true solution to market failure is to attack it head-on by creating meaningful consumer choices for long-term care.
