In this episode of Taking Healthcare by Storm, Quality Insights Medical Director Dr. Jean Storm speaks with Alan Horowitz, Esq., RN,  an innovative healthcare lawyer who helps providers such as skilled nursing facilities, hospices, and home health agencies navigate the most complex regulatory challenges, bridging clinical care, government regulation, and legal advocacy with his deep understanding of both clinical issues and law.

Alan breaks down how the nursing home survey and enforcement process works, why it can feel adversarial, and why appealing CMS actions is so difficult and time-consuming. He also highlights emerging challenges for long-term care providers—including marijuana use, medical aid in dying, and consent and capacity issues for residents with dementia—while stressing the importance of strong preparation and clinical leadership during surveys.
