New York S06448 establishes a study on implementing a frailty index methodology in nursing homes to improve care quality and outcomes.

New York S06448 creates a nursing home resident quality and safety study to explore the adoption of a globally recognized frailty index methodology. The study will be conducted by the commissioner, who will accept applications from nursing homes on a first-come, first-served basis. Accepted facilities will be divided into control and intervention groups, with the latter implementing the frailty index methodology. A demonstration team will assist in training, data collection, and analysis. The study will categorize data by facility size, operating status, and star rating.
