Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA)

When a nursing home facility becomes certified to accept government reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid, it agrees to adhere to the minimum standards of care set out in the federal regulations.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA), which is also referred to as the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 covers two primary areas of federal regulation, delivery of services to residents and the survey enforcement of federal regulations.

A nursing home is required to provide resident services in a way which maintains the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident, while protecting and promoting the rights of each resident.

Each certified nursing home undergoes a survey, the purpose of which is to establish whether or not that nursing home is in compliance with the requirements relating to the provision of services and resident rights. There are 15 primary regulatory categories that are surveyed ranging from quality of care, to dietary and physician services to administration.
