ObjectivesDesignTo determine whether degree of implementation of the Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers (INTERACT) program is associated with number of hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits of skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents.Secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial.SettingParticipantsSNFs from across the United States (N=264).Two hundred of the SNFs from the randomized trial that provided baseline and intervention data on INTERACT use.InterventionsMeasurementsDuring a 12-month period, intervention SNFs received remote training and support for INTERACT implementation; control SNFs did not, although most control facilities were using various components of the INTERACT program before and during the trial on their own.INTERACT use data were based on monthly self-reports for SNFs randomized to the intervention group and pre- and postintervention surveys for control SNFs. Primary outcomes were rates of all-cause hospitalizations, potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAHs), ED visits without admission, and 30-day hospital readmissions.ResultsConclusionThe 65 SNFs (32 intervention, 33 control) that reported increases in INTERACT use had reductions in all-cause hospitalizations (0.427 per 1,000 resident-days; 11.2% relative reduction from baseline, p
