Survey items and participants
For the Survey of Institutions and Establishments for
Long-term Care, the main body of the investigation was
the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
The survey was conducted in September 2011 on the
6,047 certified home-visit nursing agencies nationwide.
Among the 5,410 agencies that responded to the survey
(response rate: 89.5%), we selected 5,161 agencies (85.3%)
to analyze in this study; agencies that lacked data on their
service delivery system were excluded. The survey items
included 1) the activities of the agency; 2) the main body
of establishment of the agency, 3) any notification of additions
for either long-term care insurance or medical insurance;
4) presence of satellite office(s); 5) service delivery
system (during September of the year) including the days
of operation; 6) patient characteristics (during September
of the year) including number of patients who used longterm
care insurance or medical insurance, their functional
level, the number of home visits per month, and the number
of patients who stopped receiving services due to death; 7) the number of staff members including nurses
and rehabilitation staff; 8) the main job of the manager;
and 9) any parallel establishment of care management
agency [11].
