Abstract

The comparison of nursing home care between the USA and China has the capacity to facilitate both countries to envision new developmental opportunities and identify innovative strategies regarding improved care practices delivered to the frail elderly and disabled populations. As such, the purpose of this paper is to compare nursing home care delivery between the USA and China regarding community needs, demand and supply and to identify managerial strategies that the USA and China can and should learn from and share with each other. Irrespective of the differences in culture, history and market mechanisms, the global perspectives on knowledge transfer across countries are promising areas for research and scholarly exploration in the healthcare administration and services fields.
