    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Medical Record Management
    • Long-Term Care Technology

    Background:

    • Challenges in managing related medical records (physicians' orders, diagnoses, sensitivities) in long-term care facilities.
    • Need for improved documentation and review processes to meet governmental regulations.
    • Existing systems lack integrated capabilities for comprehensive medical record analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a computer-based system for storing, retrieving, and analyzing key components of the medical record.
    • To address issues related to governmental regulation, documentation, and medical care evaluation.
    • To assess the system's acceptance and impact on patient care quality in nursing homes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a computer-based system for medical record management.
    • Testing and installation in two long-term care facilities (82 and 143 beds).
    • Evaluation of system acceptance by medical, nursing, pharmaceutical, and administrative staff.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully stores, retrieves, and analyzes physicians' orders, diagnoses, and sensitivities.
    • Positive acceptance by all staff categories in the tested facilities.
    • Demonstrated contribution to the quality of patient care in nursing homes.

    Conclusions:

    • The computer system effectively meets its initial objectives for medical record management in long-term care.
    • The system is a valuable tool for improving documentation, review, and patient care quality.
    • The system's design allows for relatively simple programming adjustments to accommodate regulatory changes.
