November 22, 2024
Originally published by

In a recent piece for Consumer Attorneys of California’s Forum Magazine, Ed Dudensing underlines the importance of holding corporate overseers accountable in elder abuse cases. By shifting focus from bedside caregivers to the profit-driven enterprise structures at the top, which often prioritize financial gain over patient safety, attorneys can seek justice for clients and maximize punitive damages.

Dudensing goes on to provide crucial information on unraveling the complex webs large companies use to avoid transparency and accountability and provide tips for plaintiff’s attorneys in proving liability by corporate overseers.

“The ‘holy grail’ of corporate liability is proving that corporate defendants operated their enterprise in a manner designed to maximize profits at the expense of patient care,” Dudensing writes.

Healthcare Dive: Nursing home staffing regulations are crucial to protect our seniors, Ed Dudensing writes

August 9, 2024

In April, the Biden Administration established staffing minimums for nursing homes across the country. These regulations require 3.48 nursing hours per patient per day, including 0.55 registered nursing hours and 2.45 nurse assistant hours. In a piece for Healthcare Dive, Ed Dudensing describes the importance of maintaining these regulations as a baseline rather than a ceiling for staffing levels.

Despite the positive impact increased staffing levels have on overall quality of care, some legislators and industry executives are attempting to overturn these regulations, arguing that they will worsen workforce issues. With the aging population growing, adequate staffing is crucial.

“The introduction of these regulations is a significant stride in the right direction. In fact, these minimum requirements should serve as a baseline, rather than a ceiling, for staffing levels in nursing homes. Each resident’s needs are unique, and staffing must be tailored to meet these individual requirements to ensure the highest quality of care.”
