GOLTC The Care Home Markets and Regulation Interest Group webinar

This webinar presents a recent study on accountability in nursing home services by Ixchel Perez Duran from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Stephan Grimmelikhuijsen from Utrecht University School of Governance.

The research examined both upward and downward accountability mechanisms in nursing home (NH) services, focusing on how relatives of NH residents assess these mechanisms and the conditions that affect their assessments. Researchers examined the impact of various macro, meso- and individual-level characteristics. Findings show important insights about the influence of private ownership, performance during COVID-19, and knowledge of the two types of accountability.
