South Dakota will provide $5 million in grants to nursing homes and other elderly care facilities that accept Medicaid to buy technology equipment that improves patient care and helps staff do their jobs better. Facilities must apply and explain what technology they plan to purchase and what benefits it will provide, and the Department of Human Services will evaluate applications before approving grants. The department must then report back to lawmakers on which facilities received money, how much they got, what equipment they bought, and how many patients benefited.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
