AnnotationThis paper explores the various approaches used to obtain time and motion data, or, more significantly, to obtain information about personal care inputs made on behalf of nursing home residents. The relative merits and weaknesses of different approaches are presented. These include traditional time and motion study, task sampling, and the maintenance of logs or diaries. A newly developed technique based on computer barcode technology is also described. (RH).
