摘要

The traditional approaches to improving the quality of care at U. S. nursing homes-regulation, inspection, and accountability through public reporting-have produced modest results. Greater progress could be made by focusing incentives on broader processes related to improving quality. This could foster a culture of upstream identification and solving of problems that would supplement existing downstream requirements to meet specific safety and care standards.
