The nursing home sector has seen a disproportionately high number of deaths as
part of the COVID-19 pandemic. This reflects, in part, the frailty and
vulnerability of older people living in care homes but has also, in part, been a
consequence of the failure to include care homes in the systematic planning of a
response to COVID, as well as a measure of neglect of standards and quality
improvement in the sector. In response, the EUGMS published a set of medical
standards of care developed in consultation with experts across its member
national societies in 2015. The standards consisted of seven core principles of
medical care for physicians working in nursing homes as a first step in
developing a programme of clinical, academic and policy engagement in improving
medical care for older people who are living and frequently also dying as
residents in nursing homes. The gravity of the concerns arising for nursing home
care from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as emerging insights on care improvement
in nursing homes indicate that an update of these medical standards is timely.
This was performed by the writing group from the original 2015 guidelines and is
intended as an interim measure pending a more formal review incorporating a
systematic review of emerging literature and a Delphi process.
