本研究的目的是研究护士人员配置对美国短期护理之家居民再住院和急诊科就诊的影响。11,132家美国养老院的数据来自2016年养老院比较。我们发现，五星品质评等系统的人员配备评等对短期住院者的再住院率和急诊科就诊率有显著的预测作用。研究结果亦显示注册护士在照顾短期住院者方面的重要性。管理者和政策制定者可以利用这些发现来制定管理策略，以减少疗养院居民的再住院和急诊就诊。(C) 2018爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of nurse staffing on both rehospitalizations and emergency department emergency department visits among short-stay nursing home residents in the United States. Data for 11,132 US nursing homes were drawn from the 2016 Nursing Home Compare. We found that the Five-Star Quality Rating System's staffing rating is a significant predictor for the rates of rehospitalization and emergency department visit among short-stay nursing home residents. The results also showed the importance of registered nurse staffing in nursing home caring for short-stay residents. Administrators and policy-makers can employ the findings to formulate management strategies that will reduce rehospitalizations and emergency department visits among nursing home residents.
