Abstract

Purpose: To examine the association between market and organizational variables (financial health, market competitiveness, social capital) on health information technology (HIT) maturity levels across nursing homes.

Method: Using a national sample of HIT maturity in 525 nursing homes, we used a standard ordinary least squares regression model with robust standard errors to explore market and organizational factors associated with HIT maturity.

Results: We found four of seven financial health variables (operating income per resident day, total facility beds, occupancy percentage, chain affiliation) associated with HIT maturity. Moderately concentrated counties (market competitiveness) also exhibited higher HIT maturity. Social capital indicators were not associated with HIT maturity.

Conclusion: Facilities with greater resources can make more significant HIT investments and are associated with higher HIT maturity. These findings can assist health care leaders in strategically examining the factors that drive investments in information technology within nursing homes.

养老院健康信息技术成熟度的市场与组织特征。

目的：探讨市场与组织变量（财务健康、市场竞争力、社会资本）对养老院健康信息技术成熟度水平的影响。方法：以全国525家养老院的HIT成熟度为样本，采用具有稳健标准误差的标准普通最小二乘回归模型，探讨影响HIT成熟度的市场和组织因素。结果：我们发现七个财务健康变量中的四个（每个住客每天的营业收入、设施总床位、入住率、连锁加盟）与HIT成熟度相关。中等集中度县（市场竞争力）的HIT成熟度也较高。社会资本指标与HIT成熟度无关。结论：拥有更多资源的设施可以进行更重要的HIT投资，并且与更高的HIT成熟度相关。这些发现可以帮助医疗保健领导者战略性地检查推动养老院信息技术投资的因素。
