The use of interactive consumer health information technology would be useful in healthcare settings in order to monitor the status of patients, provide quality care, establish treatment goals and communicate effectively with health care providers. However, barriers exist in the use of health information technologies in the elderly population. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website, barriers include physical limitations leading to an increased need for assistance, computer literacy (63%), and computer anxiety (58%) (“Barriers and Drivers of Health Information Technology Use for the elderly, chronically ill and disadvantaged”, 2008). This author's goal is to help alleviate some of the barriers mentioned above in order to provide continuity in quality care for older adults. Princeton's Liberty Village is divided into five different rooms. Each room has a desktop computer at each nurse's station. Additionally, there is a laptop on top of each of the medical carts in each room. The facility's health information technology is called Matrix Care. Facility resident information is uploaded to the Matrix Care website which includes face sheet, daily Medicare charts, lab tests, orders, progress notes, care plan, resident documents such as documentation activities, behavioral documentation, consent, consultations, history and physical condition, POA/DNR/living will, resident forms, and treatment forms. Furthermore, nurses will find in green the room they have been assigned for that day, which medications and treatments are needed during each shift. Once the nurse has completed administering medications and treatments, the green color will no longer be present. Matrix C...... in the center of the sheet ...... complaints from families about the quality of care received by their loved ones. Doctors also have access to Matrix Care and can place orders for residents. Most nurses find Matrix Care very convenient when it comes to administering medications and treatments. Overall, families feel the facility is well maintained with health information technology compared to other long-term care facilities such as Colonial Hall and Greenfield in Princeton, Illinois.
