TL;DR
Organizational and market characteristics of nursing homes affect their propensity toward early adoption of innovations, and four market factors that increase the likelihood of early innovation adoption are larger bed size, chain membership, and high levels of private-pay residents.
Abstract
This analysis shows that organizational and market characteristics of nursing homes affect their propensity toward early adoption of innovations. Some of the results may be useful for nursing home administrators and policy makers attempting to promote innovation.

217 Citations1999Orna Intrator, Nicholas G. Castle +1 more
It is found that homes with special care units, more physicians, and any physician extenders (nurse practitioners or physician assistants) were less likely to hospitalize their residents and Medicare HMOs should consider the capacity of nursing facilities to limit hospital admissions.
