Health Services Regulatory Analysis: A Novel Method to Connect Policy to Health Services

摘要

States regulate licensed care settings, such as assisted living (AL) residences, to protect residents, including many with cognitive impairments such as ADRD. States take varying approaches to critical issues in AL, including defining admission criteria, safety, and egress features, and discharge and eviction processes. Yet, researchers have not fully explored how state regulations affect resident care outcomes, which is the purpose of this study. To accomplish this goal, we developed a novel approach.
