Aged Care Accreditation in Australia
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 10:44 am
A nursing documentation audit in seven Australian RAC homes provided information on key differences between the electronic and paper record formats. Nursing care plans in the EHR system documented more signs and symptoms of resident problems and evaluation of care than the paper-based plans, but had a lower mean quality score. The EHR plans contained fewer problem or diagnosis statements, contributing factors and resident outcomes than the paper-based system. Both types of nursing care plan were weak in documenting measurable and concrete resident outcomes. The overall quality of documentation content for the nursing process was no better in the electronic system than in the paper-based system.

However, despite the potential of EHR to significantly improve the quality of information management in comparison with paper-based records, there are limited reports of the actual benefits of EHR in RAC. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify any differences in meeting aged care accreditation requirements between the RAC homes that used EHR for information management and those that used paper records. The hypothesis to be tested is that the RAC homes using EHR have better performance in meeting information system standards in aged care accreditation than those that use paper records for information management. This analysis will help us understand the contribution of EHR in managing risks for information management in Australian residential aged care (RAC) homes.
