Health data sharing in US nursing homes: a mixed methods study.
The purposes of this study were to understand the extent to which nursing homes have the capability for data sharing and to explore nursing home leaders' perceptions of data sharing with other health care facilities and with residents and family members. Findings showed that perceived challenges to health data sharing included variance in systems and software, privacy and security concerns, and organizational factors slowing uptake of technology. Perceived benefits included improved communication, improved care planning, and anticipating future demand. Recommendations included working to mitigate barriers and to capitalize on potential benefits of implementing this technology in nursing homes.

Adoption of electronic health records by practices of nursing home providers and Wi-Fi availability in nursing homes.
This study evaluated the rate of electronic health record (EHR) adoption by nursing homes (NHs) and nursing home providers and Wi-Fi availability in nursing homes by geographical region. The authors conducted a cross-sectional survey on a convenience sample of NH primary care providers (PCPs) serving 867 NHs recruited from the Medefield Primary Care research panel. They also sought to evaluate the proportion of NHs with Wi-Fi access. The states were categorized into four geographical locations: Midwest, Northeast, South, and West. Participants included a total of 515 physicians, 209 nurse practitioners, and 143 physician assistants. Mean age of participants was 49 years, 56% were male, and 76% white. The mean number of days per week participants worked in a NH was 1.8 and number of hours per week 32.3. Overall, 89.4% reported EHR adoption in their practice, and 73.2% reported Wi-Fi presence in their primary NH. The three most EHRs were EpicCare Ambulatory (24.0%), Vitera (20.4%), and eClinicalWorks (14.4%) Wi-Fi access was highest in the Northeast (78.1%) and lowest in the West (63.9%). Rates of EHR adoption was also highest in the Northeast (94.5%). These differences may help explain continued deficiencies in care coordination between NH and other sites of clinical care.

Improving prediction of fall risk among nursing home residents using electronic medical records.
To identify individuals at highest risk for falls, the authors applied a repeated events survival model to analyze The Minimum Data Set ( MDS 3.0 and EMR data for 5129 residents in 13 nursing homes within a single large California chain. They found that incorporating EMR data improves ability to identify those at highest risk for falls relative to prediction using MDS data alone.
