Community discharge among post-acute nursing home residents: an association with patient safety culture?
June 30, 2021
Guo W, Li Y, Temkin-Greener H. J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2021;22(11):2384-2388.e1.
This study examined the association between patient safety culture (PSC) measured by the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture and community discharge of long-term care (LTC) residents. Results show that two domains of PSC- teamwork and supervisor expectations and actions regarding patient safety- are significantly associated with increased likelihood of discharge to a community setting. Focusing on these domains to improve patient safety culture may also increase community discharge rates.
