This bill, the ‘Prepare LTC Act,’ aims to strengthen infection control and emergency preparedness in Medicare and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities.

The bill also mandates the release of data on deficiencies during outbreaks and requires a GAO study to analyze these issues.
