Though a few researchers have begun to examine state level LTCOPs; less is known regarding the effectiveness of local LTCOPs. This investigation seeks to reaffirm and extend previous findings concerning LTCOPs while also exploring additional topic areas which have yet to be systematically investigated. The proposed poster will be based on responses from data collected from local LTCOPs in New York and California, states that rank first and second in people aged 85 and over in the US. Data will be collected through telephone interview surveys with ombudsman participants from 51 programs in New York and 35 in California (representing 100 percent of the local LTCOPs in each state). Finally, approval has been granted to obtain access to the National Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS) data from New York State and California for 2003. The NORS data will be utilized to triangulate secondary data with the primary survey data. Systematic analyses will be focused on domain areas including: (1) adequacy and control over resources, (2) organizational autonomy, and (3) inter-organizational relationships. Supplemental analyses will focus on barriers and perceived effectiveness in the role of local ombudsmen in the following specific domain areas: post-acute care and rehabilitation services, elder abuse, end-of-life care, and cultural competence. With the recognition of rapidly increasing numbers of individuals who will be residing in nursing homes and residential care facilities for long-term care services, improved knowledge related to local LTCOPs is timely and represents an important issue for professionals, policy makers as well as residents and their families.
