A Refined Protocol for Coding Nursing Home Residents' Comments During Satisfaction Interviews
The refined method offers a systematic way to code residents' comments about their care into unmet needs related to the manner and frequency of care delivery. The findings have direct implications for the identification of care areas in need of improvement from the resident's perspective and the evaluation of improvement efforts
The Minimum Data Set Urinary Incontinence Quality Indicators
PURPOSE: To determine if nursing homes that score in the lower 25th percentile (low prevalence) versus the upper 75th percentile (high prevalence) on each of two Minimum Data Set (MDS) incontinence quality indicators provide different incontinence care processes DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SUBJECTS: 347 long-term residents in 14 skilled nursing facilities for the MDS "prevalence of incontinence" indicator and 432 residents in 16 skilled nursing faci…
Objective and Subjective Measures of the Quality of Managed Care in Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: The number of nursing home (NH) residents enrolled in managed care plans (HMO) will increase, and there is concern that the quality of their medical care may be compromised by cost-containment pressures. In this study, we evaluated the medical care of residents enrolled in 3 health maintenance organizations (HMO) that developed specific long-term care programs. OBJECTIVES: To compare the medical care received by NH residents enrolled …

Utilizing the School to Control Head-Banging Behavior of a Child at Home
A school-based reinforcement program was implemented to control a preschooler's head-banging behavior at home. At school, the child's participation in a preferred activity was contingent upon the absence of head-banging at home. This combined school-home procedure resulted in a marked decrease in incidence of head-banging
An experimental analysis of a program to reduce retail theft
A program for elementary school-aged youth, designed for and implemented by a retail business, was evaluated. The program included visual instructions to youth, tokens (exchangeable for special prizes) for appropriate verbal behavior, visual feedback to youth, and rewards for reducing merchandise loss, all continued to a criterion level. A 54% reduction in losses of popular youth merchandise was achieved
Outcome measures of police performance
Innovative training programs can provide police departments with junior officers who have demonstrated competency in a large number of specific police skills. Lacking measures of field performance and programs to maintain performance standards, the ultimate effectiveness of training cannot be assessed. Process measures of performance are generally too obtrusive and disruptive to be useful. Outcome measures are less obtrusive. Such measures can sa…
Evaluation of outpatient client progress
A cost-efficient information system that allows for the continual monitoring of the verbal reports of mental health outpatient behavior was designed and implemented. Verbal descriptions of patients' problem behaviors were collected during baseline, therapy, and post-therapy periods using a telephone interview procedure. Descriptive data were presented for 25 patients, demonstrating that: (a) adequate baseline measures can be taken to evaluate the…
The effects of aftercare programs on institutional recidivism
With increasing numbers of individuals being returned to the community from mental institutions, diverse community mental health center based „aftercare”︁ programs have emerged to potentially meet the needs of these individuals. The degree to which aftercare programs are effectively preventing reinstitutionalization remains as a major unanswered question. In the present evaluation, an attempt was made to analyze the effects on recidivism of begin…
Relationships between descriptive client characteristics and absenteeism from a mental health center
This study was an archival study attempting to determine whether certain descriptive client characteristics are related to high levels of client absenteeism or client attrition. Subjects were 354 former outpatient clients from a community mental health center. Descriptive characteristics such as age income, and treatment latency were taken from information routinely collected for all clients. Correlations revealed no significant relationships bet…
The problem of early outpatient terminations from community mental health centers
This study examined the relationship between the number of client contacts with a mental health center and the client's evaluation of the services. Responses to 3 structured ratings of the center's services and free response comments were obtained from 130 former outpatients. None of the structured evaluation ratings was related to the number of contacts, but clients with several contacts were more negative in their free response comments. In add…

Relationship between a Forward Learning Set and Three Orders of Multiple-Choice Examinations
A series of 4 replication-design experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship of arrangement of test-items and its effects on S's performance for teacher-devised examinations. A 30-item, four-choice, multiple-choice examination was prepared by the teacher and presented in three forms. The Forward-Backward form, presented test items covering material from the first lecture through the last; the Backward-Forward form, presented the sa…
