Thirty-year trends in nursing home composition and quality since the passage of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act.
In 1987, the Omnibus Reconciliation Act (OBRA) called for a dramatic overhaul of the nursing home (NH) quality assurance system. This study examined trends in facility, resident, and quality characteristics since passage of that legislation. The investigators indicated that the 30th anniversary of OBRA provided a unique opportunity to reflect, consider lessons learned, and think about the future of this and other sectors of long-term care

Pay-for-performance policy and data-driven decision making within nursing homes: a qualitative study.
The researchers explored ways in which data were collected, thought about and used by nursing home employees as a result of participation in a pay-for-performance (P4P) program. Their findings indicated that participants in the Minnesota Performance-based Incentive Payment Program’s quality improvement (QI) projects perceived a change in the rate and manner in which they gathered, used, and considered data in their QI decisions.
