OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of healthcare-associated pathogens and infection control policies practices in a national sample nursing homes (NHs). METHODS In 2012, we conducted survey about extent to which NHs follow suggested with regard 3 common pathogens: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile, extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers, their NHs. We adapted previously used validated NH survey, including questions on prevalence, admission screening...
Productive aging, or older adults engaging in paid unpaid activities that produce socially valued goods services, has been suggested to have the beneficial impact on adults' health and well-being. We performed a cross-sectional study examine influence of literacy relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) productive aging among Chinese newly urbanized community. Data was collected from 995 community June August 2013 Chengdu, China. used structural equation modeling (SEM) test...
Objective To explore influential factors contributing to the choice of primary care facilities (PCFs) for initial treatment among rural and urban residents in Southwestern China. Methods A face-to-face survey was conducted on a multistage stratified random sample 456 459 Sichuan Province from January August 2014. structured questionnaire used collect data residents' characteristics, provider principal reason choice. Multivariate logistic regression performed identify associated with choosing...
Current estimates of productivity losses associated with heart disease and stroke in the US include income from premature mortality but do not morbidity.To estimate labor morbidity due to missed or lower force participation.This cross-sectional study used 2019 Panel Study Income Dynamics data by comparing between persons without stroke, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics other chronic conditions considering situation zero (eg, withdrawal market). The sample included...
Since 2005 Massachusetts has publicly reported results from biennial surveys of satisfaction with nursing homes, completed by responsible parties for residents, to promote consumer-centered care. Our analysis the 2005, 2007, and 2009 revealed generally high care, which remained stable over time. On a scale 1 5 (from very dissatisfied satisfied), average overall care was 4.22–4.31, that residents' needs were met 4.09–4.16. Around 90 percent respondents would recommend facility. Satisfaction...
Homeotropic alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) is one the key modes used in commercial crystal displays (LCDs) due to its advantages, such as high contrast ratios and fast response speed. Here, we report stable homeotropic LC with a small pretilt angle nematic, negative host doped additives including self-aligning agents, photoresponsive azo dyes, reactive mesogen via an situ self-assembled, dual-wavelength photoalignment approach. The underlying mechanism stable, pretilted was further...
Background: Providing equitable and patient-centered care is critical to ensuring high quality of care. Although racial/ethnic disparities in are widely reported for nursing facilities, it unknown whether exist consumer experiences with how public reporting affects facility performance potential racial disparities. Methods: We analyzed trends ratings publicly Maryland homes during 2007–2010, determined changed this period. Multivariate longitudinal regression models controlled important...
Background: Quality report cards have been shown to be effective in influencing patients’ referrals and promoting quality improvement some instances not others. In this study, we investigate one of the mechanisms that may detract from their effectiveness: voluntary versus mandatory participation nursing homes public reporting. Objectives: To answer 2 questions: (1) Were choosing participate low-quality performers relative those who chose participate? (2) Once became mandatory, did...

Risk factors common to nursing home (NH) residents are potentially not fully captured by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP). The unique challenges faced hospitals that disproportionately serve NH who at greater risk of readmissions have been studied.
Abstract Nursing home (NH) residents are disproportionately affected by poor oral health. But little we known about the root causes. We analyzed 2000-2016 national inspection survey data for all certified-NHs (n=248,975 facility-years). Dental care performance was measured two designated deficiency citations. Generalized estimating equation models were used to predict if NH facility and market characteristics associated with low performance. The rates of citation tripled from 1.2% in 2000...
Since 2003, 38 US states and Washington, DC have adopted legislation and/or regulations to strengthen stroke systems of care (SSOCs). This study estimated the impact SSOC laws on outcomes. We used a coded legal dataset 50 (years 2003-2018), national accreditation information 1997-2018), data from Healthcare Cost Utilization Project 2012-2018), National Vital Statistics System 1979-2019). applied natural experimental design paired with longitudinal modeling estimate having one or more...
Abstract Minority older adults are at higher risks of poor oral health. Little is known about the extent and contributing factors to racial/ethnic disparity in dental care quality long-term settings. Previous studies suggest that organizational system-level key determinants health among minority adults. We examined delivery nursing homes (NHs) by facility market characteristics. analyzed 2000-2016 national Inspection Survey data for all certified-NHs (n=248,975 facility-years). Two...
This paper presents a pragmatic specification test for conditional continuous distributions with uncensored data. We employ Monte Carlo (MC) experiments and the 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data to examine coverage power discern deviations from correct model in distribution parameterization. carry out MC using 2000 runs sample sizes 500 1000. The show that has accurate under specification, can both distributional family increases as size increases. empirical example shows test’s...
