Forecasting content and stage in a nursing home information technology maturity instrument using a Delphi method.
This paper reports the development and testing of a new instrument measuring nursing home information technology maturity and stage of maturity. Findings showed that over 11% of the content items were at the highest maturity stage, which are reflected in nursing homes that have technology available for residents or their representatives and are used extensively in resident care. An instrument to assess nursing home IT maturity and stage of maturity has important implications for understanding health service delivery systems, regulatory efforts, patient safety and quality of care.

High-intensity telemedicine-enhanced acute care for older adults: an innovative healthcare delivery model.
This article describes an innovative healthcare model that uses high-intensity telemedicine services to provide rapid acute care for older adults without requiring them to leave their senior living community (SLC) residences. The project demonstrated that high-intensity telemedicine services for acute illnesses are feasible and acceptable and can provide definitive care without requiring ED or urgent care use.

A qualitative evaluation of a telemedicine-enhanced emergency care program for older adults.
The purpose of this study was to document the experiences of patients, their caregivers, healthcare personnel, and staff members with a program that provides telemedicine-enhanced emergency care to older adults residing in senior living communities (SLCs) and to delineate perceived barriers and facilitators. The authors concluded that telemedicine-enhanced emergency care is an acceptable method of providing emergency care to older adults in SLCs.
