DAYTON -- One in 10 nursing homes in Ohio has been faulted in the past four years for substandard care, or for practices that put residents at immediate risk of injury or death, according to a Dayton Daily News analysis of state data. Across the state, at least 22 nursing home residents died and at least 42 others were injured in 114 incidents at nursing homes between August 2007 and May 2011, the newspaper's investigation found. Those 114 incidents resulted in "immediate jeopardy" or "substandard care" findings by state officials.

This final rule will implement the new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (``Exchanges''), consistent with title I of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, referred to collectively as the Affordable Care Act.

Now, here's the problem, that in order for us to save money, in some cases, we've got to spend some money up front. Let me give you some very specific examples. Health care IT: Health care is the only area where you still have to fill out five different forms. I'll bet when you go into the bank you don't have to do that. You've got an ATM. If you use your credit card, they'll find you real quick, and the billing is real easy-[laughter]-right?

• Service Strategies for Senior Care: A Competing Values Approach

The need for effective services for the elderly will continue to increase as the number of seniors explodes in the coming years. State services will face demand for senior care on an unprecedented scale and scope. This paper explores how different states have responded to this challenge, in terms of the structure of their state departments responsible for elder care services. Using continua based on the centralization and scope of services at the state level, four service paradigms have been identified. All of these paradigms have been successfully applied in different states, and are vigorously defended by various stakeholders. Their strengths and weaknesses will be explored, along with implications for a "best practices" departmental strategy and structure.
