work, including a JAMDA Call for Papers focused on “Reimagining Long-Term Care.”

As researchers and policy makers recruit nursing homes for partnership in studies
of transformation, an assessment of organizational strain of these communities will

that occurs when resources required by research or quality improvement studies cannot
be provided by the organization.

This is necessary not only to identify organizations well equipped to participate
in research but also to protect safety in organizations that lack appropriate resources
as the pandemic added strain to already burdened, under-resourced health care settings.

and we risk compromising safety by adding new initiatives when basic needs are not
satisfied.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
