The patients who receive care in these settings may be any age or gender, but the modal LTC patient is elderly. Long-term care software vendors provide products for nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities SNFs , assisted living facilities, independent living facilities and continuing care retirement communities CCRCs.
There are many vendors offering many LTC solutions. We've created this guide to help LTC facilities understand their options and identify the solutions that best meet their needs.
Here's what we'll cover:. Long term care software can be considered to live within the geriatric software umbrella. Products in this category help care facilities automate clinical, financial, marketing and other activities to streamline workflows and operate more efficiently. For example, facilities may need marketing solutions to track leads and referrals.
Nursing homes may need electronic medical records EMRs to track patients' medical information. Some may consider home health to be a part of the long-term care spectrum.

Of course, different solutions will offer different types of applications, but these are the applications categories we've found to be present in most LTC systems.
Standalone application or integrated suite. We find that most buyers choose an integrated suite. It is also anticipated that every healthcare setting — acute care hospital, academic school of nursing, large community health agency or healthcare setting where nurses function — will employ at least one NI specialist and will implement some type of a CIS. What is CIS? A CIS is designed to support clinical nursing practice.
It requires not only an understanding of professional nursing practice process but also technology that is the application for the science to function electronically. The computer is the most powerful technological tool to transform the nursing profession prior to the new century.
The computer has transformed the nursing paper-based records to computer-based records. The computer and the internet have become essential to the modern day which functions a lot. Computers in nursing care are used to manage information in patient care, monitor the quality of care, and evaluate the outcomes of care.
Computer technology emerged in nursing in response to the changing and developing technologies in the health care industry and in nursing practice. It is analyzed according to:. PRIOR to the s. Starting in the s, and as the computer industry grew, the use of computers in the health care industry also grew. During this time, there were only a few experts who formed a cadre of pioneers that attempted to adapt computers to health care and nursing.
During this time, the nursing profession was also undergoing major changes. The image of nursing was improving, nursing practices and services were expanding in scope and complexity, and the number of nurses was increasing.
These events provided the impetus for the profession to embrace computers. The s. During the s the uses of computer technology in health care settings began to be questioned. Nursing practice standards were reviewed, and nursing resources were analyzed.
Studies were conducted to determine how computer technology could be utilized effectively in the health care industry and what areas of nursing should be automated.
During this period, computer technology advanced, while the number of health care facilities increased. In the s, the inevitable continued integration of computers into nursing. Nurses began to recognize the value of the computer for their profession. During this decade, giant steps were taken in both dimensions: nursing and computer technology. They assisted in the design and development of nursing applications for the HISs and other environments where nurses functioned. Generally, public health MISs provided statistical information required by local, state, and federal agencies for specific program funds, whereas home health agencies provided billing and other financial information required for reimbursement of patient services by Medicare, Medicaid, and other third-party payers.
During the s, the field of informatics emerged in the health care industry and nursing. NI became an accepted specialty and many nursing experts entered the field. Technology challenged creative professionals and the use of computers in nursing became revolutionary. As computer systems were implemented, the needs of nursing took on a cause-and-effect modality; that is, as new computer technologies emerged and as computer architecture advanced, the need for nursing software evolved.
During this period, many mainframe HISs emerged with nursing subsystems. These systems documented several aspects of the patient record; namely, order entry emulating the Kardex, results reporting, vital signs, and other systems that documented narrative nursing notes via word-processing packages. Discharge planning systems were developed and used as referrals to community health care facilities in the continuum of care.
In the s, the microcomputer or personal computer PC emerged.
