A national report of nursing home quality and information technology: two-year trends.
The authors sought to answer these two research questions: What are the trends in information technology (IT) adoption in US nursing home facilities over 2 years? How are 2-year trends in IT adoption in US nursing homes related to nationally reported quality measures (QMs)? Using surveys of nursing home administrators and data from Nursing Home Compare, they concluded that multiple dimensions of IT sophistication influence QMs in every health care domain, providing an opportunity to design a reporting system that joins these important variables to be assessed on a national scale.
