Abstract
•Compare rates of common geriatric syndromes in nursing home (NH) residents and elderly persons living in the community, emphasizing the marked dependency in the former group. •Identify the criteria for feasibility—of both implementation and measurement—and contrast the feasibility of implementation between quality indicators (QIs) related to medical conditions and those related to geriatric syndromes. •Consider how many QIs would be excluded when assessing quality of care for demented NH residents and those with a poor prognosis.
