The Most Significant Change: An Evaluation of Predictive Performance Measures in Nursing Homes
The study highlights the value and adaptability of using the most significant change methodology to evaluate complex interventions. This method enriches analysis by emphasising individual experiences, and the dynamics of organisational change. It highlighted subtle changes in aged care practice that would have been difficult to measure including staff behaviour, organisational culture, and the role of leadership in improving care quality for residents.
