Your comparison group is all of the other nursing homes in your state. Each state's QIs are based only on nursing homes in their state. So, the states with many nursing homes would not have much differences in the baseline for QI changes as the smaller states would.

If we have a percentile rank of, for example, 94% on falls, this means that we have more falls than 94% of the other faciities in our comparison group? and Who is in our comparison group? thanks.
