Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to expand on previous work testing the relationship between person-centered care (PCC) and quality outcomes in the nursing home (NH) setting. We explore if the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) implementation is a predictor of NH quality, as defined by deficiencies. Design: Secondary data analysis of repeated cross-sections. Setting and Participants: Data from 6 sources on Ohio NHs were merged to examine 1300 NH-year observations. Methods: Logistic regression techniques were used to evaluate the relationship between PELI implementation and 3 survey deficiency outcomes: whether the NH had a 4- or 5- deficiency star rating, deficiency score, and whether the NH had a deficiency score of 0. Results: NHs with complete PELI implementation increased the probability of having a 4- or 5- deficiency star rating by 6 percentage points (P = .039). Results also show complete PELI implementation is related to lower deficiency scores and an increased probability of having a deficiency score of 0, but only a 0 deficiency score was marginally significant. Conclusions and Implications: The findings indicate PCC stands to improve quality outcomes; however, benefits take time to show. Future research should seek to help improve NHs level of commitment to PCC and buy-in from policymakers.
