High impact information on Skilled Nursing Facilities

• A double-blind comparison of olanzapine versus risperidone in the acute treatment of dementia-related behavioral disturbances in extended care facilities [6].
• Haloperidol levels in blood were measured monthly in 43 refractory chronic schizophrenic patients referred to a locked skilled nursing facility for long-term treatment [7].
• This paper aims to identify risk factors for hip fracture in Medicare skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents and to develop a predictive model based on routinely collected administrative data (the Minimum Data Set, MDS) to identify high-risk residents [8].
• SETTING: Three community-based settings and two skilled nursing facilities in Orange County, California. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred one adults aged 65 and older (mean age=83) [9].
• HMO patients also were much less likely to be discharged to rehabilitation facilities, slightly less likely to be discharged to skilled nursing facilities and to have a shorter length of stay, and did not differ in the use of home care services or warfarin use when compared with FFS patients [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Skilled Nursing Facilities

Anatomical context of Skilled Nursing Facilities

• In this study, all patients admitted to an 80-bed VA extended care facility were cultured weekly for 12 weeks to detect the presence of MRSA in the nares, wounds, in-dwelling devices, and the oral cavity [12].

Associations of Skilled Nursing Facilities with chemical compounds

• Nasal colonization by methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococcus in community skilled nursing facility patients [13].
• Low-level colonization and infection with ciprofloxacin-resistant gram-negative bacilli in a skilled nursing facility [14].
• All skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in Connecticut were surveyed and more than 71% responded to a Centers for Disease Control-funded project, a component of which is reported herein [15].
• Barriers to the effective use of capillary blood glucose monitoring in extended care facilities [16].
• Due to concern about unpredictable response to levothyroxine in patients receiving morning doses in a skilled nursing facility, the standard administration time for the drug was changed from 0900 to midnight [17].

Gene context of Skilled Nursing Facilities

• MRSA in long-term skilled nursing facilities [18].
• ASAP was associated with a statistically significant decline in the rate of assault in the intermediate/extended care facility [5].
• OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Medicare's Prospective Payment System (PPS) for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and associated rate changes on quality of care as represented by staffing ratios and regulatory deficiencies [19].

• This Chronic Wound Care Preview gives an overview of Medicare and Medicaid, and reimbursement essentials necessary in the acute care, subacute care, skilled nursing facility and home health care setting [23].
• METHODS: Sixty-eight Medicare managed care (MCO) and 32 fee-for-service (FFS) subjects from 3 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in Southern California answered the physical functioning dimension of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP-PFD) before and after rehabilitation therapy [24].
