虽然大量的文献已经建立了长期护理部门的市场和监管力量的重要性，目前在这一领域的研究是有限的一系列数据，测量和方法问题。本文提供了一个全面的审查，这些问题的重点是确定的举措，将增加长期护理研究的数量和质量。建议包括：建立长期护理市场边界的标准措施，更广泛地传播市场和监管数据，将基于调查的数据与市场措施联系起来，鼓励对非机构长期护理环境进行进一步的基于市场的研究，以及医疗补助费用数据的标准化。
Although a large literature has established the importance of market and regulatory forces within the long-term care sector, current research in this field is limited by a series of data, measurement, and methodological issues. This paper provides a comprehensive review of these issues with an emphasis on identifying initiatives that will increase the volume and quality of long-term care research. Recommendations include: the construction of standard measures of long-term care market boundaries, the broader dissemination of market and regulatory data, the linkage of survey-based data with market measures, the encouragement of further market-based studies of noninstitutional long-term care settings, and the standardization of Medicaid cost data.
