Using the above methodology, the RHF of all persons who had either an MDS assessment or a SNF claim during 1999-2006 was compiled. We then identified the date of the first Thursday in April in each of these study years, and determined the people who had a nursing home type episodelet that covered that date. A nursing home episodelet could be a SNF stay, a non-SNF stay, or receiving hospice care in nursing home.
