2.WK 3 How do laws protect populations in need of lifespan management?

According to (chapter5) Nursing Home Litigation, regulatory oversight for clinical care delivered in certified nursing homes is authorized under the Nursing Home Reform Act (OBRA-87). States can use their enforcement powers to take action against facilities that do not comply with federal and state standard (chapter5) Nursing Home Litigation.

Research shows that the threat of litigation is not likely to lead to widespread improvements in nursing home quality (Konetzka et al., 2013). Another downside of litigation is that it increases health care costs. Federal funded facilities patient has the right to not be denied according to the Civil rights Act of 1964. The OBRA rights for the patients to help against abuse, neglect and misappropriation. An example of an issue of a law in the news that protects population of lifespan management is; The Americans Elderly Act that provides Federal funding to create projects to safe guide the elderly from abuse of any kind by providing community planning and social services.
