DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CAHPS(R) Nursing Home Survey of discharged nursing home residents' experiences (NHCAHPS-D) remains to be fully developed. The survey is not used because little information exists on its content or reliability since there was insufficient sample size to finalize the instrument. We propose to comprehensively test the psychometric properties of the NHCAHPS-D, and widely publish the findings including publishing benchmarking standards. Evidence would suggest that NHCAHPS-D has considerable relevance. Over the past several decades care in nursing homes has changed substantially. Statistics recently released show that more than half of all elders cared for in nursing homes are now discharged home. Moreover, when satisfaction information from current residents is compared with those of elders discharged home substantial differences exist. This would indicate that these are different populations with different needs in the nursing home. Collecting satisfaction information in the nursing home is important. Measuring and reporting satisfaction with nursing home care may be important in helping facilities improve some aspects of quality. NHCAHPS-D may be useful for facilities because it is a mail survey that can be easily and inexpensively implemented by nursing homes. Measuring and reporting satisfaction with care may be important in helping elders and their families choose a nursing home. Thus, the NHCAHPS-D could be potentially relevant to care in nursing homes. It would appear beneficial to fully test this instrument and encourage its widespread use. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Resident satisfaction is a very important aspect of care. Resident satisfaction can be useful in choosing a nursing home that is best suited to the elder. Resident satisfaction information can be used by nursing homes to improve quality. Moreover, more satisfied residents are likely to have better health outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：CAHPS（R）疗养院居民居民经验（NHCAHPS-D）的调查仍然有待充分发展。不使用该调查，因为关于其内容或可靠性的信息很少，因为样本量不足以最终确定仪器。我们建议全面测试NHCAHPS-D的心理计量学特性，并广泛发布包括发布基准标准在内的发现。证据表明NHCAHPS-D具有相当大的相关性。在过去的几十年中，疗养院的护理已经发生了很大变化。最近发布的统计数据显示，在疗养院受到照顾的所有长者中，有一半以上已经出院。此外，当将目前居民的满意度与已出院的长者的满意度信息进行比较时，存在实质性差异。这将表明这些人群在疗养院中有不同的需求。在疗养院收集满意度信息很重要。测量和报告对疗养院护理的满意度对于帮助设施改善质量的某些方面可能很重要。 NHCAHPS-D可能对设施很有用，因为这是一项邮件调查，可以通过疗养院轻松，廉价地实施。测量和报告对护理的满意度对于帮助长者及其家人选择疗养院可能很重要。因此，NHCAHPS-D可能与疗养院的护理有关。充分测试该工具并鼓励其广泛使用似乎是有益的。 公共卫生相关性：居民满意度是护理的一个非常重要的方面。居民满意度对于选择最适合长老的疗养院很有用。养老院可以使用居民满意度信息来提高质量。此外，更满意的居民可能会带来更好的健康状况。
