OIG recently updated its interactive map that displays details on nursing home complaint trends to incorporate data from 2016 through 2018. OIG had previously conducted a study and published an interactive map showing nursing home complaint trends between 2011 and 2015. The report from the prior study, issued in September 2017, analyzed the 2011-2015 data and found that “a few states fell short in timely investigation of the most serious nursing home complaints” during this timeframe.
The interactive map, which has now been updated to include 2016-2018 data, displays “details on nursing home complaint trends between 2016 and 2018 for each State, including the number of complaints received and the number of the most serious complaints that a State investigated late.” OIG states that it “is continuing to analyze nursing home complaint and investigations data and trends” and “will share the results of this work in a forthcoming report.” The updated interactive map can be found here.
