The Role of Nursing Home Resources in Reducing Pressure Ulcers and Falls Öffentlichkeit
Shapera, Shaina Julianne (2017)
Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between staffing and capital measures and negative health outcomes in nursing homes using Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provider information and quality measures data from 2011 to 2015. Increased time devoted to residents may prevent common negative health outcomes and injuries, but workers with different scopes of practice may have varying effects on quality of care. Additionally, capital resources may improve care alone or in conjunction with labor. This study finds that reported staffing hours do not have a significant effect on the quality metrics studied. However, facilities that fall short of an ideal number of hours staffed by registered nurses may have more pressure ulcers.
