摘要

目标:虽然对专业护理机构的患者治疗效果进行了广泛的研究,但在了解影响其管理绩效的因素(尤其是入住率)方面仍存在重大差距。本研究考察了专业护理机构的入住率,并评估了尚未引起足够重视的管理绩效的两个重要驱动因素--支付方组合和总利润率的影响。具体来说,我们重点研究了疗养院的财务绩效(以利润率评估)在影响支付方组合与专业护理机构入住率之间关系方面所发挥的作用:从美国田纳西州 612 家专业护理机构的《2019 至 2020 年养老院联合年度报告》中提取数据。通过拟合入住率的广义估计方程进行回归分析:例如,与利润率处于最低四分位数的专业护理机构相比,处于最高四分位数的专业护理机构的入住率比传统医疗保险覆盖的居民护理天数每增加一个单位高出约 18 个百分点(β = 0.18,p = 0.0028)。同样,与利润率处于最低四分位数的机构相比,利润率处于第二高四分位数的专业护理机构的入住率要高出约 23 个百分点(β = 0.23,p = 0.0375):与盈利能力较弱的专业护理机构相比,财务状况较好的专业护理机构一般具有较高的入住率,尤其是在传统医疗保险和医疗保险优势等支付来源上升的情况下。鉴于医疗保险在长期护理资金中扮演着越来越重要的角色,政策制定者和疗养院管理者在评估提高专业护理机构管理绩效的机会时,不妨考虑一下我们的研究结果。

Medicare skilled nursing facilities' occupancy and payer source: The moderating role of financial performance.

Objectives: While extensive research has focused on patient outcomes in skilled nursing facilities, a critical gap remains in understanding factors influencing their managerial performance, particularly occupancy rates. This study examines the occupancy rates of skilled nursing facilities and assesses the significance of two important drivers of managerial performance that have not received sufficient attention-the influence of payer mix and total profit margin. Specifically, we focused on the role played by a nursing home's financial performance (as assessed by profit margin) in influencing the relationship between payer mix and occupancy rate among skilled nursing facilities.

Methods: Data were extracted from the 2019 to 2020 Joint Annual Report of Nursing Homes for a sample of 612 skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee, USA. Regression analysis was performed by fitting a generalized estimating equation of occupancy rate.

Results: Compared to skilled nursing facilities in the lowest quartile of profit margin, for example, those in the highest quartile had approximately 18 percentage points higher occupancy rates per unit increase in resident days of care covered by traditional Medicare (β = 0.18, p = 0.0028). Similarly, skilled nursing facilities in the second highest quartile of profit margin had a higher occupancy rate by approximately 23 percentage points per unit increase in Medicare Advantage (β = 0.23, p = 0.0375) when compared to those in the lowest quartile of profit margin.

Conclusions: Skilled nursing facilities with stronger financial performance generally have higher occupancy rates, particularly notable in relation to an upswing in payer sources such as traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, when compared to skilled nursing facilities with weaker profitability. Given the increasingly larger role of Medicare in long-term care funding, policymakers and nursing home managers may find it useful to consider our findings when evaluating opportunities to enhance managerial performance of skilled nursing facilities.
