Develops a method for risk adjusting nursing home quality indictors (QI's). The quality indicators measure incidence and prevalence of residential-level care processes and outcomes which are indicative of care quality. The method was examined through analysis of data from over 800 nursing homes in the USA. Results showed that facilities differed substantially in quality indicator rates even after risk had been taken into account. Also, results suggested differences in care quality which may not have been apparent without controlling for risk.
