Abstract
The purpose of this Article is to describe existing nursing home conditions and to offer suggestions to improve public enforcement strategies as well as alternatives to public enforcement. The Article is divided into three parts. The first describes the industry and considers the role of federal and state governments in establishing standards of quality. The second examines existing enforcement devices utilized to induce compliance with these standards and suggests how enforcement might be made more effective. Finally, attention is focused on how patients and patients' advocates can use private sanctions to protect patient rights and improve the quality of care provided in nursing homes.
