AHCA’s LTC Data Cooperative Seeking NY Skilled Nursing facilities – Enroll Today!
Enroll today in AHCA’s LTC Data Cooperative. The mission of the LTC Data Cooperative is to improve the quality of care within skilled nursing facilities by translating comprehensive EMR data into accessible and actionable insights for providers, public health officials, and researchers.
Dr. David Gifford, Chief Medical Officer for AHCA, who oversees the AHCA LTC Data Cooperative reports that there is an urgent need for NYS skilled nursing facilities to join the Cooperative.
This Cooperative is a provider led initiative that gathers EMR data from nursing homes that can be used for three purposes:
- Provide you with data reports and comparative data to assist with resident care;
- Conduct public health surveillance such as the spread of multi-drug resistant infections in LTC or vaccination rates;
- Conduct effectiveness research about what treatments and practices are most effective among our resident populations.
The three largest EMR vendors: American Health Tech, MatrixCare and PointClickCare 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.
NYS providers are needed for inclusion in this data cooperative. You can find more information at ahcancal.org/datacooperative.
To enroll or answer any questions you may have, please contact the AHCA LTC Data Cooperative team at LTCDataCooperative@ahca.org who can email you a copy of the participation agreement to review.
