Can programs like guaranteed income and cash transfers boost economic security and health for low-income individuals? On October 18, the Opportunity for Health Lab, along with Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (Penn LDI), hosted a thought-provoking seminar, “Boosting Health Through Economic Policy,” moderated by our Director, Dr. Atheendar Venkataramani. Experts explored findings from 100+ pilot projects examining the benefits and challenges of unrestricted cash assistance programs to reduce financial stress, improve health, and support stability.

A recent blog post from the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (Penn LDI) discusses work by MSHP alumna Kira Ryskina about the impact of ownership changes on nursing home quality. Nursing homes purchased by a private equity group have been associated with poor patient outcomes, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services nursing home quality ratings lack information on nursing home ownership. Ryskina and colleagues found that a change in ownership led to a small negative impact on 5-star quality ratings for nursing homes but emphasized the importance of sharing ownership information with patients.
