AHCA Creates LTC Data Cooperative

Currently, approximately 1,000 skilled nursing facilities are participating in AHCA’s newly created LTC Data Cooperative. The cooperative is a provider-led initiative that gathers EMR data from nursing homes that can be used for three purposes:

1. Provide 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. Research what treatments and practices are most effective among our resident populations. 

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.
