Nursing home staffing and operations in Taiwan and the United States: A comparative pilot study
<b>:</b> Systemic and cultural contexts profoundly influence NH operations. While U.S.A. sites benefit from technology and standardized training, Taiwan sites require technological adoption to improve medication safety and workflow efficiency. These preliminary findings highlight critical targets for improvement and establish a foundation for future, larger-scale research to enhance resident care quality and the work-life balance of nursing staff globally.
