Abstract:
Nursing home quality improvement has historically relied on annual surveys conducted by state agencies for its impetus. Such reviews play an important role for assuring that minimum standards are met. However, we need to search for incentives that will make it in the best interest of nursing homes to improve beyond the minimum. This article explores incentives that may play that role.
