AnnotationThe authors differentiated between two categories of service in provision of long-term care in US community hospitals: skilled nursing and rehabilitation (SN-R); and other long-term care (O-LTC). The pattern of care provided was significantly associated with hospitals' mission (for-profit and teaching status) and their internal and external resources. Results suggest the importance of considering hospital and community characteristics in predicting the impact of policy changes, and envisioning the role of hospitals in long-term care. (RH).
