Inappropriate drug prescriptions for elderly residents of board and care facilities
OBJECTIVES: Using 1993 data, this study examines the prevalence of presumptively inappropriate prescriptions among residents, aged 65 and older, of board and care homes. METHODS: Inappropriate drug prescriptions were identified through the use of established criteria developed for application to older nursing home residents and to community-dwelling elderly. This research used a sample of 2054 elderly residents from 410 facilities in 10 states. W…
The Structure of Social Engagement among Nursing Home Residents
This research tests the reliability and construct validity of social engagement, a new quality of life measure embedded in the federally mandated Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) for the nursing home population. The sample consisted of 1,848 residents from 268 homes in 10 states with data collected by trained research nurses. Three resident groups were formed based on residents' cognitive and ADL functioning. Social engagement was significant…
MDS Cognitive Performance Scale(C)
BACKGROUND: Chronic cognitive impairment is a major problem in U.S. nursing homes, yet traditional assessment systems in most facilities included only limited information on cognitive status. Following the Congressional mandate in the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA '87), U.S. nursing homes now complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized, comprehensive assessment of each resident's functional, medical, psychosocial, and cognitive…
Reducing the use of physical restraints in nursing homes
OBJECTIVES. Reducing the widespread use of physical restraints in nursing homes is a primary goal of the federal nursing home reforms enacted as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987. However, some nursing home operators assert that reducing restraint use could be prohibitively expensive, costing payors perhaps as much as $1 billion annually. We investigated whether nursing home residents free from physical restraint require more …
Designing the National Resident Assessment Instrument for Nursing Homes
In response to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 mandate for the development of a national resident assessment system for nursing facilities, a consortium of professionals developed the first major component of this system, the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident Assessment and Care Screening. A two-state field trial tested the reliability of individual assessment items, the overall performance of the instrument, and the time involved in its…
