IMPACT faculty scholar Sandra Shi, MD, and funded investigator Sarah Berry, MD, MPH are among authors to publish an article in JAMA Health Forum regarding the challenges of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors discussed the unprecedented challenges of SNFs, which provide post–acute care for nearly 20% of hospitalized older adults. They explored the degree in which SNFs delivered rehabilitative services while coping with stressors of the pandemic not previously explored. The goal of this study was to characterize changes in rehabilitation services provided by SNFs during the pandemic.
