New Jersey has expanded its healthcare facility hidden camera program launched to protect elderly and disabled patients from caregiver abuse, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
The "Safe Care Cam" program, launched in December 2016, now allows residents access to micro-surveillance equipment on loan to monitor loved ones living in nursing homes or other institutional care facilities.
The program was previously limited to monitoring home caregivers.
New Jersey also plans to eliminate legal provisions that permit new healthcare workers to begin working in patient homes while a criminal background check was pending.
