Description
Nursing home star ratings can be forecast from their own history, Shivani Gupta, Ashay Kadam, and Neeraj Bhandari show in a 2023 study. Public quality ratings hold providers accountable, and their use has grown over the years. Nursing homes invest significant resources in maintaining or improving the ratings awarded by the federal oversight agency. Administrators face constant pressure to allocate resources strategically around those ratings.
Data on all United States nursing homes over five recent years came from the public comparison site. A Markov chain model and a mover-stayer model predict how ratings evolve. One-year transition probabilities were estimated by maximum likelihood. The findings give likelihoods of future upgrades and downgrades. Readers in health management get a forecasting tool for a high-stakes score.
