AARP commissioned The Lewin Group to conduct research to help inform policy discussions about quality of care and litigation in Tennessee nursing homes. Specifically, the study addresses the following overarching policy questions: What are the factors driving litigation in Tennessee? What are the nursing home litigation trends in the state? What positive or negative outcomes does litigation have for nursing home residents? What steps have nursing facility operators in Tennessee taken to reduce the frequency and cost of litigation, and what are the implications for nursing home quality? What are the potential impacts of tort restrictions, based on the experiences of other states?

Based on the findings, the report discusses considerations and potential strategies for ensuring delivery of quality services in Tennessee nursing homes.
