By the end of 2011, the Pennsylvania State Legislature had passed and signed 148 bills into law.

A bill signed into law regarding facilities for the elderly is called the Long-Term Care Nursing Facility Independent Informal Dispute Resolution Act.  The bill is detailed as “an independent informal dispute resolution process for long-term care nursing facilities to dispute Department of Health survey findings.”

In other words, this new law affecting nursing facilities  in the state of Pennsylvania will change the way a nursing home can respond and, if necessary, dispute their score and evaluation of the state survey before the data is entered into the federal database. It will go into effect in April of 2012.

The age-old macho attitude in the medical profession that napping in the middle of a 30-hour shift is just plain weakness is beginning to change…

Sleep scientists have shown results in their studies that even one hour of sleep can prevent performance error.  Most medical residents who work late into the night and into the early hours of the morning opt not to rest during their 30-hour shifts.  But in 2011, a study showed that emergency medical technicians took significantly longer to complete their tasks at the end of a long shift.  The question still remains whether fatigued workers contribute to higher death rates and hospital negligence.
