    Abstract
    As the percentage of elderly adults within the U.S. continues to grow, long-term care options will increase. Facing increased competition from other forms of long-term care, many nursing homes are seeking innovative models to enhance management and clinical care practices. The Teaching Nursing Home model, first established in the 1970s, is one in which academic institutions partner with nursing homes to create information exchanges between the nursing home and the school. Currently, nursing schools throughout the country work with nursing homes to create clinical training sites for nursing students. The partnership is also used to encourage research among school faculty and to assist nursing homes in their management of best practices. This study examined the impact of these relationships on nursing home quality. Twenty teaching nursing homes were matched with twenty nursing homes that are not engaged in this practice. Using nursing home quality scores published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, mean outcomes for the matched pairs were compared using T-tests. Regression analyses were also performed to test whether quality improves over time within a teaching nursing home. The results from the T-tests performed did not show overall quality differences between the matched pairs. However, when analyzed regionally, some significance was observed for teaching nursing homes in the Upstate NY region (p<0.1). The study discusses some of the differences in design of the teaching nursing homes within that region and the impact that may have on results. Time as a teaching nursing home did not appear to affect quality for nursing homes in this study. Possible explanations for these insignificant results are discussed in the Summary, Discussion and Limitations section of the study. Overall, the findings from this study suggest that the Teaching Nursing Home model can add value to nursing homes by offering them research and professional training opportunities with academic institutions. Within the study, recommendations are made to further explore the impact of these partnerships on nursing home quality and to encourage the development and use of the model through policy changes.
