Introducing computer-based documentation to Residential Aged Care: a multi-method evaluation of success

由于采用电子信息系统的速度非常缓慢，提高居住式老年人护理的质量和使用循证方法受到限制。这项研究将为主要投资者、政府、老年护理提供者和IT供应商提供工具，以衡量将IT引入这一领域的成功与否。该项目将与国家最高机构建立一个平台，根据在两个州进行的研究，传播成功实施老年人住宿护理计算机化系统的经验教训。这些研究还将有利于国际社会研究技术采用，将其边界条件扩展到一个新的环境。

Improvements to quality and use of evidence-based methods in residential aged-care are restricted due to the very slow adoption of electronic information systems. This research will provide key investors, government, aged care providers and IT vendors, with tools to measure success in introducing IT into this sector. The project will create a platform with the national peak body, to disseminate lessons in successful implementation of computerised systems in residential aged-care, based on studies in two states. The studies will also benefit the international community researching technology adoption, by extending its boundary condition to a novel setting.
