Patient outcome as a measure of quality of nursing home care
One thousand males transferred from a general medical hospital into 40 community nursing homes were classified by their physicians as to expectations of outcome within six months and measured on physical functioning at the time of their transfer. They were followed up six months later and retested on functional status. Subjects were classified on follow-up as improved, the same deteriorated, or dead. They were also classified as discharged from t…
Cultural comparisons of mothers with large and small families
Contraceptive knowledge and behaviour of mothers of large (five of more children) and small (under three children) families in four subcu;tures were compared with white Protestants. Four hundred and forty-nine mothers aged 35–45 years were studied from black, Cuban, Indian, Chicano, and white groups. With social class, knowledge of birth control, and degree of religiosity held constant, the best predictors of family size were the mother's desited…
Validity of Impairment Ratings Made from Medical Records and from Personal Knowledge
The extent to which medical records supply reliable and valid data about a patient's condition is unknown. Recent emphasis on evaluation of quality of care by record review makes this an important issue. One hundred and three male patients (mean age 65) discharged from hospital to extended care were studied. At hospital discharge, the patient was rated by his physician on a 13-item impairment scale. Another physician, using only medical records, …
Correlates of Prognosis: A Study of the Physician??s Clinical Judgment
As a step toward understanding and improving clinical judgment, this study clarifies the bases or physicians' prognostic judgments and evaluates accuracy of prognosis against an outcome criterion. Prognoses of improve, remain the same, and deteriorate or die were made for 477 mostly elderly patients being placed from a VA Hospital into 40 community nursing homes. It was found that prognosis was importantly influenced by a diagnosis of internal ca…
Cumulative Illness Rating Scale
A bstract : A Cumulative Illness Rating Scale, designed to meet the need for a brief, comprehensive and reliable instrument for assessing physical impairment, has been developed and tested. The scale format provides for 13 relatively independent areas grouped under body systems. Ratings are made on a 5‐point “degree of severity” scale, ranging from “none” to “extremely severe.” Findings, in terms of reliability and validity, reflect statistical s…
