To identify state regulations for nursing home residents with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). We reviewed state regulations for policies relating to nursing home residents with SMI, and conducted interviews with expert stakeholders. A framework for analyzing state regulations was generated by identifying four discrete categories: States with specific mental illness regulations, Alzheimer's or dementia regulations, minor mention of mental illness, and no mention of mental illness. A large majority of the states have little or no mention of mental illness in their nursing home regulations, suggesting limited attention to all forms of mental illness by most state regulatory bodies.
为了确定养老院严重精神疾病(SMI)患者的州级法规。我们审查了与 SMI 养老院居民相关的政策的州级法规,并对专家利益相关者进行了访谈。通过确定四个不同类别,生成了分析州级法规的框架:有特定精神疾病法规的州、阿尔茨海默病或痴呆症法规、对精神疾病的简要提及、以及对精神疾病未提及。大多数州的养老院法规几乎没有或根本没有提及精神疾病,这表明大多数州监管机构对所有形式的精神疾病关注有限。
