1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveNursing home administrator (NHA) and director of nursing (DON) are the 2 key leadership positions in nursing homes (NHs) and play an important role in delivering high-quality long-term care services. However, the impact of DON turnover has not been well investigated compared with that of NHA. This study aims to investigate the association of NHA/DON turnover with 5-star ratings and consumer satisfaction.

designA cross-sectional analysis of Ohio NHs. SETTING AND

participantsAn NH-level data set of Ohio NHs was constructed, containing 5-star ratings, consumer satisfaction scores, and NH characteristics. Six data sets were merged from the 2017 Nursing Home Compare Archive, 2017 Ohio Nursing Home Resident Satisfaction Survey, 2018 Ohio Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey, the Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports, Payroll-Based Journal, and the 2017 Ohio Biennial Survey of Long-Term Care Facilities.

methodsLogistic and linear regressions were performed, controlling for other NH characteristics.

resultsMultivariable regressions indicate that DON turnover is consistently associated with lower star ratings by 2.9%-11.5% points and lower consumer satisfaction scores by 0.4%-1.5% points. NHA turnover is associated with lower overall and health inspection star ratings and family satisfaction score, but the effect sizes of NHA turnover diminish when accounting for DON turnover. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services incorporates a specific measure for NHA turnover into the staffing star rating. However, DON turnover is only reported as a part of the turnover of total nursing staff or registered nurse turnover rates. Given its impact on quality outcomes, DON turnover should be incorporated as a standalone measure to enhance accountability and transparency within the NH industry.
