Geriatric care, particularly in a nursing home environment, has been a topic of concern throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The elderly—an incredibly susceptible group for viral infection— have been impacted at disproportionate rates, especially as coronavirus has spread through assisted living and nursing facilities. As you prepare COVID-19 litigation related to elder medical care, it will be critical to consult a geriatrics expert witness who can speak to the specifics of medical care for elderly individuals and the standard of care for nursing home facilities.
A geriatrics expert witness can discuss:
Specific health vulnerabilities within the elderly population
Medical care practices within nursing home facilities
Changes to standard operating and care protocols since the COVID-19 outbreak
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) compliance
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) compliance
Pandemic and quarantine protocols for nursing home facilities
“Good faith” care versus “gross negligence” as per new immunity bills
Best practices for health and safety with limited personal protective equipment (PPE)
Best practices for communicating with the families of residents
