Nursing home prices and quality of care - Evidence from administrative data
利用一家大型健康保险基金的行政数据，研究养老院价格是否与居民层面的护理质量指标相关，发现价格与不当用药和精神药物使用呈负相关，但与身体健康损害无关。
There is widespread concern about the quality of care in nursing homes. On the basis of administrative data of a large health insurance fund, we investigate whether nursing home prices are associated with relevant quality of care indicators at the resident level. Our results indicate negative associations between price and both inappropriate and psychotropic medication. In contrast, we do not find any relationship between the price and impairments of physical health.
