Abstract
BACKGROUND
Thirteen residents of a long-term care facility participated in a study on the use of caretracker, a system to use “real time” data to code the minimum data set by tracking activities of living and providing supportive documentation.
MAIN CONTENT POINTS
With the caretracker data, more individualized care plans were produced and modified. Nursing interventions could be seen to facilitate the desired outcomes based on the behavior-monitoring forms and the caretracker entries. This, in turn, validated the NOC scores.
CONCLUSIONS
Caretracker data can be used to support nursing efforts and patient outcomes.
