In this work, a multilevel Latent Markov model is proposed to study the evolution of the health status of elderly patients hosted in different nursing homes. A dataset is considered which is gathered from the Long Term Care Facilities programme, a longitudinal study carried on in Umbria (Italy). The data at hand cover the years 2012 and 2013. The final goal of our analysis is to rank the nursing homes according to their performance in retaining patients in the best health conditions. Our results show significantly different nursing home performances.

Abstract
In this work, a multilevel Latent Markov model is proposed to study the evolution of the health status of elderly patients hosted in different nursing homes. A dataset is considered which is gathered from the Long Term Care Facilities programme, a longitudinal study carried on in Umbria (Italy). The data at hand cover the years 2012 and 2013. The final goal of our analysis is to rank the nursing homes according to their performance in retaining patients in the best health conditions. Our results show significantly different nursing home performances.File in questo prodotto:
