Summary: For two decades, performance measures for most nursing homes in the U.S. have been publicly reported, resulting in some improvements in quality. However, public reporting is a new concept for Department of Veterans Affairs nursing homes. A study comparing the perceptions of CLC leaders on public reporting and its influence on quality improvement revealed that public reporting was seen as beneficial for transparency and gaining an external perspective. Similar strategies were employed across CLCs to improve public ratings, although more effort was required in lower performing CLCs.
