• Description:
  Nursing homes (NHs) are increasingly recognized as critical components of the long-term care continuum. Acute care systems have come to recognize the need for high-quality and easily accessible post-acute and long-term care avenues, a niche NHs have embraced over the past several years. Indeed, post-acute patients receiving NH rehabilitation account for more than 2.2 million Medicare-covered stays across 15,000 facilities. The quality of care in NHs remains inconsistent and, in many respects, suboptimal. Although NH quality is dependent on a number of workforce factors, directors of nursing (DONs) and their relationships with staff, including attending physicians, are likely an important part of the equation. Although the evidence linking staffing, competence, and clinical quality is well accepted, there is little research on the quality or impact of relationships between NH leaders (eg, administrator and/or DON) and physicians. This study intended to examine DON perceptions of their relationships with physicians. [Description provided by NIOSH]
