Summary

This study looks at how reliable the quality information reported by Swiss nursing homes really is. Researchers will compare the data collected by staff with a separate expert assessment for 30 residents in each of 30 facilities. They will also explore what makes data collection harder or easier, then test a set of tools to improve accuracy.
