Weekly / May 2, 2024 / 73(17);409
Altmetric:
* Residential care communities are state-regulated, have four or more beds, provide room and board with at least two meals per day, and are staffed to provide supervision and assistance with personal care and health-related services to adults who cannot live independently but do not require intensive nursing care.
† Residential care communities with missing data were excluded.
From 2018 to 2022, the percentage of residential care communities (RCCs) using electronic health records (EHRs) increased from 36% to 48%. Use of EHRs increased during this time regardless of RCC size, and larger RCCs were more likely to use EHRs compared with smaller RCCs.
