Tilley, Jane, Kristen Black, Barbara Ormond and Jennie Harvell . (November 2003). State experiences with minimum nursing staff ratios for nursing facilities: Findings from case studies of eight states. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Abstract:
Conducted by the Urban Institute for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, this study was commissioned as a follow-up to the Phase I and Phase II nursing home staffing studies conducted for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by Abt Associates. The researchers surveyed all state laws mandating minimum staffing ratios and conducted case studies of eight states (Arkansas, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin) that either instituted, modified or eliminated nursing staff ratios in recent years. The report concludes that minimum staffing ratios can help impose a standard on facilities that have inadequate staffing, but staffing ratios are not the only factor affecting the quality of care residents receive.
