Indicator data were collected from October 1986 through April 1987 for 356 residents of the nursing home at the North Chicago, Illinois, Veterans Administration Medical Center. Measures of prevalence, incidence, and rates of change were studied for 17 adverse outcome indicators of four main types: death, undernutrition, skin breakdown, and loss of activities of daily living (eating, mobility, transfer, and toileting). Indicator values can be calculated from data routinely collected for administrative and other clinical purposes and can be used to help nursing home administrators monitor trends in the physical status of residents and to establish and track compliance with quality assurance goals.
1986年10月至1987年4月期间，收集了伊利诺伊州北芝加哥退伍军人管理局医疗中心疗养院356名居民的指标数据。对四种主要类型的17个不良结局指标进行了患病率、发病率和变化率的研究，这四种主要类型为死亡、营养不良、皮肤破损以及日常生活活动能力丧失（进食、活动、转移和如厕）。指标值可根据为行政和其他临床目的常规收集的数据进行计算，并可用于帮助疗养院管理人员监测居民身体状况的趋势，以及建立和跟踪质量保证目标的合规情况。
