Health Care Staff Turnover and Quality of Care at Nursing Homes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Turnover in health care staff may disrupt patient care and create operational and organizational challenges, and nursing home staff turnover rates are particularly high. Empirical evidence on the association between turnover and quality of care is limited and has typically relied on low-quality measures of turnover, small and selected samples of facilities, and comparisons across facilities that are highly susceptible to residual confounding.

Objective

To quantify the association between nursing home staff turnover and quality of care using within-facility variation over time in reliable turnover measures available for virtually all US nursing homes.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cross-sectional study, data from the Centers for Medicare & Medica
