Study: Health IT’s impact on long-term care uncertain

“A recent study examining the effects of introducing health IT in long-term care found that nursing home residents responded positively to health IT, but no significant care improvements were realized, according to a recent article published online in the Journal of Aging and Health.
Karl Pillemer, PhD, from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and colleagues evaluated the impact of implementing a comprehensive health IT system on resident clinical, functional and quality of care outcome indicators as well as measures of resident awareness and satisfaction with the technology.”
