A 1986 study organized by the Institute of Medicine found that people in nursing homes were not getting fair or adequate health care or personal treatment.[1] The Institute of Medicine responded to the study by proposing broad and deep reforms in the regulation of nursing homes.[1] These reforms were integrated into the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 and passed as part of that law.[1]
The Nursing Home Reform Act provides guidelines and minimal standards which nursing homes must meet. It also created a Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights.[1]
