Introduction
The National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study (NPALS) publishes study results and data analysis in a variety of formats. These include statistical reports, national and state estimate tables, and MMWR QuickStats.
NPALS was called the National Study of Long-Term Care Providers before 2020. Publications and resources from the 2012 study cycle use that previous name.
