Albany, NY—The state Department of Health largely failed to implement recommendations meant to improve infection control in nursing homes, according to an audit released by the state comptroller’s office on Wednesday. The audit came as a follow-up to a March 2022 audit by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office that found data released by the Health Department “misled the public” and undercounted deaths in nursing homes.
