项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Nurse staffing – registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurses’ assistants – have long been considered an important factor determining the quality of care that nursing home residents receive and their health outcomes. Information about nurse staffing levels are included in Nursing Home Compare (NHC), the report card published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as one of the three 5 Star sub-measures, as well as the overall 5-Star measure. Many states and the Federal Government have established minimum staffing standards for nursing homes. These attest to the importance that policy makers, experts, advocates, and residents place on staffing, as both determinants and indicators of quality. With the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), nursing homes are facing an increasing population of residents with dementia (RWD). These residents are expected to require even higher staffing levels, compared with residents without ADRD. Yet, the information about, and our understanding of the needs for staffing other than nursing, such as therapists and social workers, and specifically how nurse staffing and other professional staff influence health outcomes for RWD is lacking. The objective of this proposal is 1) to address this gap in knowledge; and 2) to assess the impact of the projected increase in RWD in nursing homes on workforce requirements. This has been identified as an important policy objective, as indicated in the National Institute on Aging’s Research Milestone 13.J. The specific aims of the application are: 1) To apply econometric techniques to administrative data to estimate the effects of short- and long-term variations in nursing, therapy and social work staffing levels to several short- and long-term outcome measures for nursing homes treating a small percent and a large percent of RWD, and to assess the incremental staffing requirement by staff type and health outcome required in nursing homes with a high population of RWD compared with nursing homes with a low population of RWD; 2) To determine the implications of the findings for nursing homes and for local, state and national labor markets based on projected prevalence of RWD in nursing homes; and 3) To develop a web-based application for policy and decision makers based on our findings, which would allow them to test the impact of different ADRD and RWD growth scenarios and staffing standards policies on workforce predictions at the nursing home and market level.

项目概要/摘要护士人员配置——注册护士、执业护士和认证护士助理——长期以来被认为是决定疗养院居民接受护理质量的重要因素他们的健康状况信息包含在疗养院比较 (NHC) 中，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心 (CMS) 发布的成绩单为三个 5 星级之一分项措施以及整体 5 星级措施许多州和联邦政府都有。制定了疗养院的最低人员配备标准，这些证明了政策制定者的重要性，专家、倡导者和居民都将人员配置视为质量的决定因素和指标。随着阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症 (ADRD) 患病率的不断增加，疗养院面对越来越多的痴呆症居民（RWD），预计这些居民需要。与没有 ADRD 的居民相比，人员配备水平甚至更高。然而，有关信息和我们的信息。了解护理人员以外的人员需求，例如治疗师和社会工作者，以及具体而言，缺乏护士人员配置和其他专业人员如何影响 RWD 的健康结果。该提案的目标是 1) 解决这一知识差距；2) 评估预计的影响；提高疗养院劳动力需求的 RWD 这已被确定为一项重要政策。国家老龄化研究所研究里程碑 13.J 中指出的目标。该应用程序的具体目标是： 1) 将计量经济学技术应用于行政数据估计护理、治疗和社会工作人员配置水平的短期和长期变化的影响疗养院的几项短期和长期结果措施，治疗小部分和大比例的人 RWD 的百分比，并按员工类型和所需的健康结果评估增量人员配置需求与 RWD 人口较少的疗养院相比，RWD 人口较多的疗养院； 2) 确定研究结果对疗养院以及地方、州和国家劳工的影响基于预计疗养院 RWD 流行率的市场；以及 3) 开发基于网络的应用程序根据我们的研究结果为政策和决策者提供帮助，这将使他们能够测试不同因素的影响 ADRD 和 RWD 增长情景以及有关护理人员预测的人员配置标准政策国内和市场水平。
