New York Non-Profits are, once again, outperforming
their peers, faring 1 percent better than New York
For-Profit Nursing Homes, 3 percent better than New
York State and 23 percent better than the nation.
While these are short-stay measures and the new
measure is long-stay, and New York Non-Profits are
outperforming their peers, Non-Profits still may benefit
from reviewing their policies and practices regarding
transfer to the hospital, orientation, training and
competencies of nursing staff, initiating programs like
INTERACT and researching innovative care alternatives
to improve their performance now and prepare for
the possible impact of the new measure. Number of
Hospitalizations Per 1,000 Long-Stay Resident Days was
reported on NHC in October 2018 and will be used to
calculate the quality measure domain of the Five-Star
Quality Rating System in the spring of 2019.
