To examine the usefulness of the nursing home quality indicators and nursing home quality measures for differentiating among providers from a rehabilitation outcomes perspective.
Retrospective.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) across the United States.
A total of 211 SNFs.
Not applicable.
All quality indicators, all quality measures except for CWLS01 (residents who lose too much weight), and a set of rehabilitation outcomes including residualized FIM motor gain, the percentage of patients discharged to community, and the percentage of patients reporting "quite a lot" or "completely" prepared to manage their care at discharge from SNF-based rehabilitation.
No quality measures correlated with any rehabilitation outcomes. Residualized FIM motor gain did not correlate with any quality indicators or quality measures. Only 1 quality indicator-prevalence of daily use of restraints (QI 22)-correlated with the rehabilitation indicator community discharge percentage. The third rehabilitation indicator, prepared to manage care at discharge, correlated (negatively) only with QI 18 incidence of decrease in range of motion. Among the rehabilitation outcomes, residualized FIM motor gain correlated significantly with both community discharge percentage and prepared to manage care at discharge.
Patients and referrers choosing SNF-based medical rehabilitation need tools that differentiate among prospective providers from a rehabilitation outcomes perspective. Data in this study indicate that nursing home quality indicators and quality measures are inadequate for this purpose.
从康复结局的角度,检验疗养院质量指标和疗养院质量衡量标准在区分服务提供者方面的有用性。
回顾性研究。
美国各地的专业护理机构(SNFs)。
总共211家SNFs。
不适用。
所有质量指标、除CWLS01(体重减轻过多的居民)外的所有质量衡量标准,以及一组康复结局指标,包括FIM运动功能残余增益、出院至社区的患者百分比,以及在基于SNF的康复出院时报告“非常多”或“完全”准备好管理自身护理的患者百分比。
没有质量衡量标准与任何康复结局相关。FIM运动功能残余增益与任何质量指标或质量衡量标准均无相关性。只有1个质量指标——日常使用约束措施的患病率(QI 22)——与康复指标社区出院百分比相关。第三个康复指标,即出院时准备好管理护理,仅与QI 18(关节活动范围减小发生率)呈负相关。在康复结局中,FIM运动功能残余增益与社区出院百分比和出院时准备好管理护理均显著相关。
选择基于SNF的医疗康复的患者和转诊者需要从康复结局角度区分潜在服务提供者的工具。本研究中的数据表明,疗养院质量指标和质量衡量标准在此目的上并不充分。
