TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Supporting the information domains of fall-risk management in home care via health information technology JO - Home health care services quarterly A1 - Alhuwail, Dari A1 - Koru, Güneş A1 - Mills, Mary Etta SP - 155 EP - 171 VL - 35 IS - 3-4 N2 - In the US, home care clinicians often start the episode of care devoid of relevant fall-risk information. By collecting and analyzing qualitative data from thirty clinicians in one home health agency, this case study aimed to understand how the currently adopted information technology solutions supported the clinicians' fall-risk management (FRM) information domains, and explored opportunities to adopt other solutions to better support FRM. The currently adopted electronic health record system and fall-reporting application served only some information domains with a limited capacity. Substantial improvement in addressing the FRM information domains is possible by effectively modifying the existing solutions and purposefully adopting new solutions.
