AnnotationA panel of 9 experts in nursing home (NH) care considered 64 choices for quality indicator (QI) content, and rated 28 of these as valid and important for measuring residential care quality. These 28 choices translated into 18 QIs. A content expert and a clinical oversight committee conducting an external review resulted in a further QI being added. 10 of the QIs were rated as feasible to implement with current resources in average community NHs. The panel deemed that the other 9 QIs could only be consistently implemented in well-staffed nursing homes. (RH).
