While there is increasing integration of AFHS in healthcare, the impact of the AFHS model in NHs remains understudied. This project will analyze data from IHI and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to assess how AF Recognition influences quality ratings, admissions, occupancy, and staff turnover. It will also compare early and later adopters and survey NH administrators to understand awareness, implementation of the 4Ms, and barriers to recognition.
