Data from the Institutional Population Component of the National Medical Expenditure Survey were used to provide national estimates of annual mental health service provision and use in nursing homes. In addition, the relationship between service provision and setting characteristics such as ownership, size, Medicaid certification, and chain status was examined. Although more than three quarters of residents with a mental disorder resided at a nursing home that provided counseling services, fewer than one fifth actually received any mental health services within the year.
来自国家医疗支出调查机构人口部分的数据被用于提供全国养老院年度心理健康服务提供和使用情况的估计。此外,还研究了服务提供与诸如所有权、规模、医疗补助认证和连锁状态等机构特征之间的关系。尽管超过四分之三患有精神障碍的居民住在提供咨询服务的养老院,但在这一年中实际接受任何心理健康服务的居民不到五分之一。
