| Annotation | The process of nursing home regulation continues to need improvement to ensure the best possible quality of care. This study used mixed methods to explore the opinions of nursing home professionals and state nursing home regulation inspection team members about the regulation process and ideas for changing it in Missouri state. Data come from a survey in 2004 of 334 nursing home professionals and 123 state regulation inspectors. Findings show disagreement about who is responsible for facilitating nursing home compliance. While nursing home professionals desire state assistance in interpreting and applying regulations, inspectors do not believe this will improve quality of care. Greater focus on resident needs may provide common ground for bridging this divide and developing interventions to ensure regulatory success. (RH). |
