About
Dr. Jasmine Travers is a leading health services researcher whose work centers on long-term care quality, health equity, and nursing home reform. Her scholarship critically examines the structural and policy-driven factors that shape care for older adults, particularly those from marginalized communities. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Nursing Home Reform in the Context of National Long‐Term Care Services and Policy," Dr. Travers dissects the complexities of the National Academies report, highlighting the systemic gaps between policy intentions and on-the-ground realities. Building on the late Robert Kane’s insight that "nursing homes" are often misnomers—providing little nursing and less home—she exposes the deep flaws in a system where residents rarely want to be and struggle to leave. Her work has garnered significant attention, with this paper alone accumulating 3 citations, and her broader portfolio influencing national conversations on quality measurement and equitable access. Dr. Travers’ research is vital for students and policymakers alike, offering a clear-eyed view of how to transform long-term care from a place of last resort into a system that truly serves its most vulnerable populations.
