TL;DR: Larger size and longer director of nursing tenure and experience also explained better resident outcomes, and the findings open the door to rethinking nursing home management practice.
Abstract: Despite widespread concern about poor quality of care in US nursing homes and numerous efforts to improve, serious problems persist (U.S. General Accounting Office, (1999). Interestingly, we have knowledge needed to improve, such as best practice guidelines, quality improvement, models such as Wellspring (Reinhard & Stone, 2001), and tougher regulations. However, none of these efforts has yet led to broad-based improvement (Wunderlich & Kohler, 2001). Problems in adapting any knowledge in a systemized way in a nursing home, point directly to the need for effective management practices (Wunderlich & Kohler, 2001). For example, Reinhard and Stone (2001), in evaluating the Wellspring model, identified existing authoritative management practices as “stumbling blocks” and found these difficult to overcome. Indeed, there is a growing body of knowledge available to suggest that management practices can be employed to achieve better outcomes, but these practices are not based on top down, authoritative, management styles (Anderson & McDaniel, 1999). Rather, emerging theory and research (McDaniel & Driebe, 2001) suggests that management practices that change how people relate to one another, such as communication, participation in decision making, and relationship-oriented leadership, result in better outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between such management practices and resident outcomes in nursing homes while controlling for organizational context and manager characteristics.

TL;DR: Deming's theory of management based on the 14 Points for Management is described in Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982 as mentioned in this paper, where he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.
Abstract: According to W. Edwards Deming, American companies require nothing less than a transformation of management style and of governmental relations with industry. In Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982, Deming offers a theory of management based on his famous 14 Points for Management. Management's failure to plan for the future, he claims, brings about loss of market, which brings about loss of jobs. Management must be judged not only by the quarterly dividend, but by innovative plans to stay in business, protect investment, ensure future dividends, and provide more jobs through improved product and service. In simple, direct language, he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.
