Researchers from the RAND Corporation and the University of Pittsburg evaluated survey responses from more than 2,400 nursing home administrators. Almost two-thirds of the nursing home administrators surveyed worked in a state that has already implemented a pay-for-performance program, according to the report.

Along with finding most of those surveyed did not believe pay-for-performance improves quality of care, the survey also found most respondents were dissatisfied with the quality measures used in the pay-for-performance model, according to the report.

Additionally, nursing home administrators in states that already have a pay-for-performance model in place had a “significantly lower” opinion of pay-for-performance than the administrators from states who had not yet implemented the model, according to the report.
