New data on the Nursing Home Compare Web site (www.medicare.gov) from quarters two and three of 2002, published as part of the CMS Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), show that NYS facilities improved on three key indicators: percentage of long-term residents with loss of ability in basic daily tasks; percentage of short-stay residents with delirium; and percentage of short-stay residents who developed delirium after admission. GNYHA has found that its members showed greater improvement (3.7%) than the rest of the State (1.5%), particularly in the area of physical restraints.
