Nursing Home Characteristics Associated With Implementation of an Advance Care Planning Video Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Advance care planning (ACP) is important to ensure that nursing home (NH) residents receive care concordant with their goals. Video interventions have been developed to improve the process of ACP. Yet, little is known about which NH characteristics are associated with implementation of ACP video interventions in clinical practice. Our objective was to examine NH-level characteristics associated with the implementation of an ACP video intervention as part of the Pragmatic trial of Video Education in Nursing Homes (PROVEN) trial.

Design

Cross-sectional study of NHs in PROVEN.

Setting and participants

119 NHs randomized to receive the ACP video intervention.

Measurements

The outcomes were the proportion of short- (<100 days) and long-stay (≥100 days) NH
