In healthcare, IT Sophistication has been defined as the diversity and maturity of information system hardware and software that support clinical services. Clinical services relevant to this study include resident care management, clinical support and administrative activities in nursing homes. An IT sophistication survey previously validated in acute care settings and adapted for nursing homes was used to develop a state profile of Missouri nursing homes. The IT survey was disseminated via paper and electronic methods as chosen by a selected responder that had IT oversight and knowledge of IT stakeholders. A census of 199 respondents completed the survey, representing a 41% (199/491) response rate. Findings support recent literature indicating a higher percentage of nursing homes are still using technology for administrative purposes; however, there is growing recognition that technologies with greater functionality, is used more extensively for electronic and automated transfer of resident care information.
在医疗保健领域,信息技术成熟度被定义为支持临床服务的信息系统硬件和软件的多样性和成熟度。与本研究相关的临床服务包括养老院中的居民护理管理、临床支持和行政活动。一项先前在急性护理环境中验证并适用于养老院的信息技术成熟度调查被用于编制密苏里州养老院的状况简介。信息技术调查通过纸质和电子方式进行传播,由选定的负责信息技术监督并了解信息技术利益相关者的应答者选择传播方式。199名受访者完成了普查,回复率为41%(199/491)。研究结果支持了近期的文献,表明仍有较高比例的养老院将技术用于行政目的;然而,人们越来越认识到,功能更强大的技术正被更广泛地用于居民护理信息的电子和自动传输。
