The Nursing Home Decision That Haunts Andrew Cuomo
While New York’s governor comes under fire for sketchy data on nursing home deaths from COVID-19, New Jersey s governor wins praise for telling it straight.
One year ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) made a decision that would come to haunt him.
COVID-19 was pounding New York while much of the country watched the crisis that was to soon overtake their states as well. Taking advantage of emergency powers that allowed him to make pandemic policy unilaterally, Cuomo’s Department of Health informed nursing homes in late March that they could not deny admission to patients discharged from hospitals “solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”
Rutgers University
Rutgers has been instrumental in getting the coronavirus vaccines to the public – most recently leading one of the largest phase 3 clinical trials sites in the world for the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is expected to play a pivotal role in stemming the pandemic.
Behind the university’s crucial efforts at New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical school is a Rutgers-led collaborative established two years ago to create clinical trial innovations that can speed the translation of research discoveries into improved patient care.
“Who could have imagined this would be needed so quickly?” said Barbara Tafuto, instructor in the health informatics department at the Rutgers University School of Health Professions and member of workforce development for the NJ Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science’s $29 million grant program known as NJACTS.
