Abstract
The report by Kane and colleagues (1) in this Journal issue makes an important contribution to our understanding of how to measure the quality of a resident's nursing home (NH) experience. Their finding that 60% of residents, in a study using (and here's the key phrase) highlyinclusive selection criteria, provided useable information about their quality of life should spur change in our approach to assessing quality in NHs.Keywords
