| Outcome indicators | Definition | Calculating formula = numerator/denominator |
1 | Amplification of the meal intake function 1 | Ratio of residents whose feeding was improved from “tube feeding only” to “tube feeding with oral feeding” per 100 residents concerned | = Number of residents who can take even one bite by tube feeding from tube feeding only/Total number of residents requiring tube feeding × 100 |
2 | Amplification of the meal intake function 2 | Ratio of residents whose feeding was improved from “requiring full meal-time assistance” to “partial meal-time assistance” per 100 residents concerned | = Number of residents improved from requiring full assistance to partial assistance at meal-time/Total number of residents requiring meal-time assistance × 100 |
3 | Amplification of the meal intake function 3 | Ratio of residents whose feeding was improved from “requiring partial meal-time assistance requirement” to “meal-time attention” per 100 residents concerned | = Number of residents improved from requiring partial assistance to attention at meal-time/Total number of residents requiring meal-time assistance × 100 |
4 | Occurrence of ingestion and swallowing accidents | Number of accidental cases about ingestion and swallowing per 1000 residents concerned during one year | = Number of accidental cases about ingestion and swallowing/Total number of residents who is able to take oral × 1000 |
5 | Occurrence of problems with tube feeding and after gastrostomy | Number of trouble cases about tube feeding and after gastrostomy per 1000 residents concerned during one year | = Number of trouble cases about tube feeding and after gastrostomy/Total number of residents requiring tube feeding and gastrostomy × 1000 |
