A Probability Metric for Identifying High-Performing Facilities: An Application for Pay-for-Performance Programs
BACKGROUND: Two approaches are commonly used for identifying high-performing facilities on a performance measure: one, that the facility is in a top quantile (eg, quintile or quartile); and two, that a confidence interval is below (or above) the average of the measure for all facilities. This type of yes/no designation often does not do well in distinguishing high-performing from average-performing facilities. OBJECTIVE: To illustrate an alternat…
Person-centered Care Practices and Quality in Department of Veterans Affairs Nursing Homes: Is There a Relationship
OBJECTIVE: To examine variation in culture change to a person-centered care (PCC) model, and the association between culture change and a composite measure of quality in 107 Department of Veterans Affairs nursing homes. METHODS: We examined the relationship between a composite quality measure calculated from 24 quality indicators (QIs) from the Minimum Data Set (that measure unfavorable events), and PCC summary scores calculated from the 6 domain…
Does Diagnostic Information Contribute to Predicting Functional Decline in Long-Term Care
BACKGROUND: Compared with the acute-care setting, use of risk-adjusted outcomes in long-term care is relatively new. With the recent development of administrative databases in long-term care, such uses are likely to increase. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes from administrative data in predicting functional decline in long-term care. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used a retrospective samp…
