Abstract

A nursing home report card that converted 12 measures of quality into a simple 5-star system significantly affected consumer demand for low- and high-scoring facilities. One-star facilities typically lost 8 percent of their market share and 5-star facilities gained more than 6 percent of their market share. These results support the use of summary measures in report cards.
