Abstract

Respiratory virus surveillance varies widely between nursing homes (NHs) and is shaped by differences in staffing capacity, provider training, diagnostic resources, and facility-level protocols. CLIA-waived, point-of-care molecular testing devices were implemented as routine respiratory virus surveillance in 23 Medicare-certified U.S. NHs to evaluate feasibility.
