The study evaluated the impact of admitting 235 nonacute patients who had been backed up in hospitals to new nursing facility beds in the metropolitan area of Syracuse, New York, during a 12-month period. The data indicated that these admissions reduced the hospital nonacute census by 53 percent and produced substantial declines in numbers of nonacute patients with postacute stays longer than one month and with Medicaid as principal payer. Numbers of patients waiting for Medicaid eligibility were not affected by admissions to the new beds. The data also indicated that substantial numbers of new admissions were required to generate these changes.
该研究评估了在12个月期间，将纽约州锡拉丘兹市都会区医院积压的235名非急症患者收治到新的护理机构床位所产生的影响。数据表明，这些收治使医院的非急症患者普查人数减少了53%，并且使急性后期住院时间超过一个月且以医疗补助作为主要支付方的非急症患者数量大幅下降。等待医疗补助资格的患者人数并未受到新床位收治情况的影响。数据还表明，需要大量新的收治才能产生这些变化。
