| Abstract | SummaryBenchmarking care outcomes may revolutionise both the efficiency and quality of long-term institutional care. Experience over nine years in Finland demonstrates a remarkable decrease in the use of different types of psychotropic medications and various improvements in nursing care patterns. The prerequisite information requirements to these findings are the collection of comparable standardised data, combined with regular performance feed-back mechanisms and skilful leadership. |
