Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This report presents estimates of nursing homes and their current residents and discharges in the United States. The data are summarized by characteristics of facilities such as information about Medicare and Medicaid certification, bed size, type of ownership, services provided, and per diem rates. Data are also summarized by characteristics of current residents and discharges such as demographic and resident characteristics, health and functional status, services provided, primary diagnosis, and all-listed diagnoses.

METHODS

Estimates in this report are from the 1999 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS), the sixth in a series of surveys. This nationwide sample survey was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from July through December 1999.

RESULTS

About 1.6 million current residents and 2.5 million discharges received nursing home care during 1999. About two-thirds (67 percent) of nursing homes are proprietary (for profit) and are located in the Midwest and South. There were 1.5 million full-time equivalent (FTE) employees providing health-related services to residents. Ninety percent of current residents were age 65 years or over, 72 percent were female, and 57 percent were widowed. Nearly half (46 percent) of current residents were admitted from a hospital. The average length of time since admission for current residents was 892 days. Most nursing home discharges were female (62 percent) and 88 percent were age 65 years and over. The main reasons for most discharges were admission to a hospital (29 percent) and death (24 percent). The average length of stay for a discharge was 272 days.

摘要

目的

本报告提供了美国疗养院及其当前入住居民和出院情况的估计数据。数据按设施特征进行汇总，如医疗保险和医疗补助认证信息、床位规模、所有权类型、提供的服务以及每日费用率。数据还按当前居民和出院者的特征进行汇总，如人口统计学和居民特征、健康和功能状况、提供的服务、主要诊断以及所有列出的诊断。

方法

本报告中的估计数据来自1999年全国疗养院调查（NNHS），这是一系列调查中的第六次。这项全国性抽样调查由疾病控制和预防中心的国家卫生统计中心于1999年7月至12月进行。

结果

1999年期间，约有160万当前居民和250万出院者接受了疗养院护理。约三分之二（67%）的疗养院为私立（营利性），位于中西部和南部地区。有150万全职等效（FTE）员工为居民提供与健康相关的服务。当前居民中90%年龄在65岁及以上，72%为女性，57%为丧偶。近一半（46%）的当前居民是从医院收治的。当前居民入院后的平均时长为892天。大多数疗养院出院者为女性（62%），88%年龄在65岁及以上。大多数出院的主要原因是入院治疗（29%）和死亡（24%）。出院者的平均住院时长为272天。
