Persistent low and high quality nursing home care is concentrated in specific facilities. Public reimbursement and asymmetric information are key factors driving persistent low quality in nursing homes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Gerontology
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Nursing home quality varies significantly across facilities.
  • Understanding the persistence of quality levels is crucial for healthcare policy.
  • Factors influencing sustained low or high quality require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the concentration of low- and high-quality nursing home care over time.
  • To identify factors contributing to the persistence of nursing home quality.
  • To analyze the roles of public reimbursement, bed constraint policies, and consumer information.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the On-Line Survey, Certification, and Reporting (OSCAR) system.
  • Analyzed data spanning from 1991 to 1999.

  • Employed statistical methods to assess the concentration and persistence of quality.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that both low- and high-quality nursing home care are concentrated within specific facilities over time.
    • Found that public reimbursement levels significantly influence quality persistence.
    • Identified asymmetric information as a critical factor in the persistence of low-quality care.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing home quality is not randomly distributed but concentrated.
    • Public reimbursement policies and information asymmetry are significant drivers of persistent low quality in nursing homes.
    • Policy interventions addressing reimbursement and information gaps may improve sustained nursing home quality.
