A legislative panel is being convened in Iowa to discuss the need of health care reform, specifically the definition and response to patient abuse. This will have a large bearing on the on-going debate over nursing home abuse and the need for reform. If you’ve been the victim of nursing home abuse, the eldercare lawyers of Levinson Axelrod may be able to get you the justice you deserve.

The legislative panel comes as the next step in the ongoing debate between state legislators and the health-care industry over the definition of abuse. It has been switched from being defined as “negligence” to “gross negligence,” and now that definition is also being questioned.
