- Abstract
The article presents a study which analyzes the impact of the sponsored interventions of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) on back injury claims in Ohio nursing homes. It notes that BWC data on claims, interventions, and employer payroll for all nursing homes for 1995-2004 were used to identify the relationship. Results show that a 21% reduction in back injury rate is associated with a 500-dollar equipment purchase per nursing home worker.
