Ripple Effects of PPS on Nursing Homes: Swimming or Drowning in the Funding Stream?
Swan, James H.; And Others
Gerontologist, v30 n3 p323-31 Jun 1990
Of 189 nursing homes, 83 percent reported that Medicare's hospital Prospective Payment System (PPS) affected patient needs, 53 percent said it affected patients and services provided, and 25 percent said it affected referrals to hospitals. PPS effects depended on facility factors of size, Medicare certification, tax status, and on local market area factors. (Author/NB)
