Measuring patient safety culture in pediatric long-term care.
The purpose of this study was to test the reliability, feasibility and utility of a modified patient safety survey for use in pediatric long term care (pLTC) settings and describe patient safety culture in a sample of providers from pLTC facilities. Highest ratings were given to overall perceptions of safety, feedback and incident communication, supervisors' expectations and actions and management support.

SGIM-AMDA-AGS consensus best practice recommendations for transitioning patients' healthcare from skilled nursing facilities to the community.
The authors assembled a cross-cutting team of experts representing primary care physicians (PCPs), home care physicians, physicians who see patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNF physicians), skilled nursing facility medical directors, human factors engineers, transitional care researchers, geriatricians, internists, family practitioners, and three major organizations: AMDA, SGIM, and AGS. This team identified issues and developed best practices perceived as feasible for SNF physician and PCP practices to accomplish.
