New Orleans nursing home owner banned from federal funding

Mr. Dean’s lawyers claimed “dementia and severe cognitive impairment” in February made him “unfit to testify” in his legal proceedings. 

He has appealed to get back his nursing home licenses, according to nola.com. If the appeal is successful, he will be reinstated by HHS.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
