Impact of Technological Innovation on a Nursing Home Performance and on the Medication-use Process Safety

Abstract: Despite the fact that since 1985 the government of Québec increased by 5.75 % on average the amount of money spent on healthcare per year, little improvement was noted. It is obvious that an optimal use of resources is essential to reduce waiting times and provide safer and faster services to patients. The use of new technology can contribute to improve the healthcare system efficiency. Our study aims to assess the impact of a medication distribution technology on 1) the performance of a health and social serv… Show more

“…These findings are supported by the health care literature on the use of new technologies and their effect on overall organizational performance 31 To improve the fit of these models, we ran simple ordered logit, without controlling for state fixed effects. (Baril et al 2014). Furthermore, in competitive markets, facilities compete for non-Medicaid clients, whose cost-to-reimbursement ratios are attractive for providers.…”

“…In nursing home care, leaders pursuing innovations lower costs and address organizational flaws (Deutschman 2005). The use of new technology (such as medication distribution technology) was found to enhance performance by helping to detect errors and build patient-focused care (Baril, Gascon and Brouillette 2014). The managers' role is important in nursing homes, since nursing home employees are somewhat unfavorable to cultural change (Palmer et al 2013).…”

“…Robots may increase security and decrease the risk for falls and other injuries. In addition, reminder functions help elderly people remember when to eat or when to take their medicines (Baril, Gascon, & Broulette, ). Robots also offer a possible solution to diminish social isolation and exclusion (World Health Organization [WHO], ).…”

“…New methods for developing how nurses work are needed and, in the near future, the use of robots and automated device will change the content of nursing, nurses' tasks (Baril et al, ; Otero et al, ; vonHofen et al, ), and the time used for those tasks (Ohashi et al, ). For example, robots have been reported to support surgical performance targets, by reducing the lengths of operations, providing greater accuracy, and decreasing patients' risk than have traditional surgery that was performed by humans (Jacob et al, ).…”
