Medicare standards sweep Iowa hospitals nursing homes
DES MOINES UPI Elder ly patients in almost all Iowa nursing homes and about two thirds of its hospitals will not be eligible for hospital insurance benefits under the new federal Medicare program which starts next year. Dr. Arthur P. Long Iowa health commissioner says only about one third of the state’s hospitals and perhaps half a dozen nursing homes meet federal standards. He notes that 64 of 170 licensed hospitals are accredited by the Joint Commission. Long warns many facilities lack 24 hour nursing service and other requirements. The board urges designating the health department as Medicare licensing agency and expanding staff by 50 or 60 welfare workers to handle licensing inspection and welfare provisions.
