Underreporting patient safety events can hinder opportunities for improvement. Building on previous research, this study examined the association between nursing home characteristics and reporting patterns for two measures of nursing home care quality (falls with major injury and pressure ulcers). Findings suggest underreporting of both measures, and researchers identified an association between underreporting and the racial and ethnic composition of the nursing home facility.
