This anthropological study describes and analyzes the clinical and social-structural factors contributing to the hospitalization of nursing home residents. In 48.2% of the cases, hospitalization could have been avoided. Factors such as an insufficient number of adequately trained nursing staff, the inability of nursing staff to administer and monitor intravenous therapy, lack of diagnostic services, and pressure for transfer from the staff and family contributed to hospitalization. In the United States each year, an estimated 216,000 nursing home residents who are hospitalized might be treated in the nursing home, for a cost savings of $942,763,530.
