Abstract

This study sought to (1) determine whether nursing resources are associated with disparities in outcomes (length of stay and readmissions) between black, Hispanic, and white older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs), and (2) determine whether there is an association between discharge readiness and disparities in outcomes, and whether and to what extent differences in discharge readiness explain any observed relationship between nursing resources and outcome disparities.
