Consider enrolling in AHCA LTC Data Cooperative. It’s a provider-led initiative that gathers EMR data from nursing homes that can be used for three purposes:

1. Provide you with data reports and comparative data to assist with resident care
2. Conduct public health surveillance such as the spread of multi-drug resistant infections in LTC.
3. Conduct effectiveness research about what treatments and practices are most effective among our resident populations.

For context: Currently, approximately 1,000 skilled nursing facilities are participating; having your participation will make this more effective. 

How it works: The three largest EMR vendors, AHT, MatrixCare and PCC, have agreed to send your data to the Cooperative once you enroll.

• There is no burden, cost, or requirements for individual centers should you choose to participate, thanks to a grant from the National Institute of Aging.
