Abstract

Evidence supporting a relationship between costs and quality in nursing homes has been inconsistent. The Minnesota Performance-based Incentive Payment Program (PIPP) is an innovative public policy that promotes quality improvement (QI) in the state's nursing facilities. The objective of this study was to investigate the economic or business perspective surrounding QI participation by exploring nursing home leader perceptions regarding market-based motivations for improvements, or a business case for engaging in a quality improvement project. There appeared to be a perception that without the increased rates provided by PIPP, needed changes to improve quality would not have occurred.

是否有改善养老院质量的商业案例?

支持养老院成本与质量之间关系的证据并不一致。明尼苏达州绩效激励支付计划(PIPP)是一项创新的公共政策，旨在促进该州护理机构的质量改进(QI)。本研究的目的是通过探索养老院领导对基于市场的改进动机的看法，或参与质量改进项目的商业案例，来调查围绕质量改善参与的经济或商业角度。似乎有一种看法认为，如果没有PIPP提供的提高费率，就不会发生改善质量所需的变化。
