In this episode, Dr Zeest Khan is joined by Dr Jean Storm, a specialist in long-term care medicine and the medical director of Quality Insights, a healthcare quality improvement organization. Dr Storm worked as a physician in nursing homes during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and now she's urging us to recognize the impact of long COVID in this population.
Dr Khan and Dr Storm discuss the needs of long-term care residents, how long COVID presents and how it is often overlooked. Dr Storm explains ways to advocate for loved ones in nursing homes and strategies to avoid severe COVID infections in long-term care.
