Institutional Placebo Effect: Tapping Into the Mind-Body Connection for Better Outcomes

I often fantasize about the ideal long-term care facility: a facility without regulations or the resulting need to document everything. In this dream facility — we will call it Nirvana — the nurses, certified nursing assistants, dieticians, therapists, and social workers spend very little time on a computer and more time interacting with the residents.

Of course, because Nirvana is such a wonderful place to work, it is always fully staffed.
