Characteristics of Nursing Homes that Affect Resident Outcomes
Abstract
Although there has been increased interest in using outcomes as measures of quality, few studies have shown a link between structure or process and outcomes. In this analysis, based on approximately 2,500 residents in 80 nursing homes in Rhode Island, multivariate models estimate which aspects of care are associated with resident outcomes after controlling for resident characteristics. Outcomes, measured over a 6-month period included death, functional decline, and functional improvement. Results suggest that higher staff levels and lower RN turnover were related to functional improvement. Facilities with high catheter use, low rates of skin care, and low participation in organized activities were associated with negative outcomes. Facilities with few private-pay residents were also associated with negative outcomes. Receipt of a serious federal citation was associated with improved outcomes. For-profit facilities appeared to be more efficient in use of resources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
