This study aimed to investigate the impact of nursing home information technology sophistication on health safety deficiency scores, finding that as IT sophistication increased, deficiency scores decreased. Additionally, the increase in registered nurse hours per resident day also led to a decrease in deficiency scores. The study results underscore the importance of understanding the benefits of implementing nursing home IT and demonstrating its impact on patient safety.
Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of nursing home (NH) information technology (IT) sophistication on publically reported health safety deficiency scores documented during standard inspections. Methods The sample included 807 NHs from every U.S. state. A total of 2187 health inspections were documented in these facilities. A national IT sophistication survey describing IT capabilities, extent of IT use, and degree of IT integration in resident care, clinical support, and administrative activities in U.S. NHs was used. The relationship between NH health deficiencies and IT sophistication survey scores was examined, using weighted regression. Results Controlling for registered nurse hours per resident day, deficiency scores decreased as total IT sophistication increased. Controlling for total IT sophistication score, deficiency scores decreased as registered nurse hours per resident day increased. Ownership status significantly influenced health deficiency scores. Conclusions These results highlight the necessity to understand benefits of implementing NH IT and demonstrating its impact on patient safety.
