Abstract

A review of the literature highlights the ways in which Health Information Technology (HIT) offers opportunities in Long-Term Care (LTC). When no journal article or book could be found that comprehensively reviewed LTC HIT, this author reviewed 8 books about LTC to find evidence of the possibilities for HIT. That led to the hypothesis that quality control, workflow, and telehealth are important topics for the LTC HIT journal literature. A MeSH query about LTC HIT was presented to PubMed and retrieved approximately 700 citations. Patterns in that literature supported the hypothesis. A further experiment examined year-by-year trends over the last quarter century and highlighted the increasing importance of ‘telehealth' and ‘monitoring' in LTC HIT. The trends are consonant with the emergence of computer-assisted life flow as a future topic for LTC HIT.
