About
Laura Calcaterra is a public health researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of infectious disease control and long-term care, with a particular emphasis on pandemic preparedness and health systems resilience. Her most cited paper, "Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) During the COVID-19 Pandemic—Lessons From the Asian Approach: A Narrative Review" (2022), has accumulated 24 citations, reflecting its timely contribution to understanding how Asian nations mitigated COVID-19 outbreaks in vulnerable elderly populations. In this review, Calcaterra synthesizes strategies such as early testing, cohorting, and staff management, offering actionable insights for global LTCF policy. Her research highlights the critical role of facility-level interventions in protecting high-risk groups during public health emergencies. Calcaterra’s work is particularly valuable for students and researchers in gerontology, epidemiology, and health policy, as it bridges regional experiences with universal lessons for infection prevention. By documenting both successes and challenges, she provides a roadmap for strengthening long-term care systems against future outbreaks. Her scholarship underscores the importance of targeted, evidence-based approaches in safeguarding the most vulnerable members of society.
