  1. Numbers 1–4 represent the context ranks (each ACT dimension is categorised into quartiles) where 1=low context, 2=moderately low context, 3=moderately high context, and 4=high context
  2. The context rank summary is the sum of the 10 ACT dimension rankings to produce a single composite score for an overall organisational context ranking at the nursing home and care unit level (range 10=low context or bottom quartile to 40=high context or top quartile)
  3. As shown in the table, care unit 7 was a top performer (high context rank of 4) in most context dimensions but had moderately high context (rank of 3) in leadership and moderately low context (rank of 2) in culture. Care unit 4 had low context (rank of 1) in 4 context dimensions: leadership, culture, social capital, and formal interactions and high context in organisational slack
  4. aOrganisational slack in use of staff, time, and space
