National Health Care Surveys |
Information for Survey Participants
Welcome
Approximately 1,500
nursing homes will be selected to
participate in an important national health care survey. Between August and December 2004, the National
Center
for Health Statistics, a part of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, will conduct the National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS). The NNHS is a nationally representative sample survey of nursing
homes, their residents, and staff. Data
from the NNHS have been used to:
track changes in nursing home
use among the post acute care population
identify changes in nursing
home services resulting from reform legislation (i.e, OBRA) enacted in
1987
estimate
lifetime nursing home use among older adults.
As the population of older adults is projected to double in the next 30 years, need for nursing assistants in long-term care also is projected to grow. In 2004, NCHS will conduct the first national survey of nursing assistants to provide much needed information on this long-term care workforce. About half of the nursing facilities selected to participate in the NNHS will be eligible for the National Nursing Assistant Survey (NNAS). This supplemental survey will include a nationally representative sample of nursing assistants who work in nursing facilities and provide residents with assistance in activities of daily living (ADLs).
