Abstract

Nursing homes have seen high numbers of COVID-19 infections among residents. The enhancement to this project will use electronic medical records and claims data from a select population to build predictive models of individual infection and nursing home-level outbreaks that can be then applied to a nationally representative sample of nursing homes and nursing home residents. The resulting data can be used to select nursing homes for intervention, such as increased preventative measure.
