Introduction: Efficacy of audit and feedback interventions on nursing home (NH)quality indicators is not well-established. The main objective: The main purpose of the IQUARE study was to examine the impact of two types of audit and feedback interventions on NH quality indicators and on residents dependence levels in a 18-month follow-up. Study hypothesis: We hypothesised that audit and feedback associated to educational and professional supportive interventions are more efficacy in improving NH quality indicators than audit and feedback only. Secondary objectives: Investigate the impact of the interventions on 1. Residents: * Functional decline rate * Drug prescriptions (quantity and quality) * Prevalence of adverse health outcomes (e.g., falls) 2. NHs: * Planning and implementation of therapeutic measures
