Does more therapy in skilled nursing facilities lead to better outcomes in patients with hip fracture?
The study objectives were: (1) to examine temporal trends in therapy hour volumes and (2) to evaluate whether more therapy hours are associated with improved patient outcomes. It concluded that increases in the quantity of therapy during the study period cannot be explained by changes in case mix at skilled nursing facility (SNF) admission.
