Feasibility and reliability of quality indicators for long-term care hospitals: The VENUS study
In LTC hospitals, the VENUS indicators showed high overall feasibility and reliability, although there were challenges in the feasibility of some items. The revision of the evaluation forms and guides allowed for clearer criteria based on which patients' conditions could be assessed. This research has the potential to contribute to maintaining consistency in quality evaluation across various LTC settings and to improve the quality of LTC.
