Up to 15% of the 1.4 million U.S. nursing home (NH) residents receive antibiotics daily. Antibiotic use in NHs is often inappropriate, contributing to quality and safety concerns as well as antibiotic resistance. Information technology (IT) maturity, defined as the extent to which facilities possess and use diverse technological devices and software that are integrated across resident care, clinical support and administrative activities, may improve the tracking and reporting of antibiotic use in NH residents. Thus, this research explores trends in IT maturity over time and associations with antibiotic use in U.S. NHs. Repeated cross-sectional study Long-term resident assessments from a random sample of Medicare-certified U.S. NHs over four consecutive years (2013–2017) Three data sources were used 1) four annual surveys measuring IT maturity, 2) Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessments for resident characteristics, and 3) Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting data for facility characteristics. Non-admission MDS assessments that were within a 90 day window of the IT survey were eligible. Descriptive statistics were examined. Bivariate and multivariate regressions using NH fixed effects were conducted controlling for resident and NH characteristics. There were 219,461 MDS assessments from 80,237 long-stay residents aged 65+ years, living in 817 NHs. Trends in IT maturity increased significantly over 4 years. IT integration in administrative processes was positively associated with antibiotic use (AOR: 1.072, 95% CI: 1.025, 1.122). IT components that integrate administrative activities, which can provide greater access to data sources across the organization as a whole, was associated with changes in antibiotic use. Further evaluation is needed to determine if antibiotic use is more appropriate with higher maturity such that policymakers can encourage IT with these capabilities to promote antibiotic stewardship. IT maturity is increasing in nursing homes. Greater data access across an organization via IT is associated with more antibiotic use. Considering that IT maturity influences clinical processes, it might be used to promote stewardship.
