Comparative Study
Advancing nursing home quality through quality improvement itself
Health Aff (Millwood).
2010 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
The traditional approaches to improving the quality of care at U.S. nursing homes--regulation, inspection, and accountability through public reporting--have produced modest results. Greater progress could be made by focusing incentives on broader processes related to improving quality. This could foster a culture of upstream identification and solving of problems that would supplement existing downstream requirements to meet specific safety and care standards.
