Perceived patient safety culture in nursing homes associated with "Nursing Home Compare" performance indicators.
This study examined the association between the use of “Nursing Home Compare” performance indicators and improved patient safety culture in nursing homes. A survey was conducted in 2017 using AHRQ’s Survey on Patient Safety Culture for Nursing Homes which collects data on 12 core domains of safety culture scores. Out of 2254 nursing homes sampled, there was a response rate of 36%. It was found that for every 10 percentage points increase in overall positive response rate for safety culture, there was an association with 0.56 fewer health care deficiencies, 0.74 fewer substantiated complaints, reduced fines by $2285.20, and 20% increased odds of being designed as 4-star or 5-star.

Social media ratings of nursing homes associated with experience of care and "Nursing Home Compare" quality measures.
This study compared the ratings of nursing homes on social media sites as compared to a quality-measure based rating system. Four popular social media sites (Facebook, Yelp, Google Consumer Reviews, and caring.com) were compared to ratings on the Nursing Home Compare (NHC) site at 196 nursing homes in Maryland. There was a positive correlation between ratings for the same nursing home for social media and NHC.

Consumer response to composite ratings of nursing home quality.
Health care report cards are intended to address information asymmetries and enable consumers to choose providers of better quality. This study examined whether the form of the information mattered to consumers. The investigators concluded that the form of quality reporting mattered to consumers, and that the increased use of composite ratings was likely to increase consumer response.
