Integrated Information systems for Adult Day Services

We will design and develop the Integrated Information System for Adult Day Centers (ADCs) linking c(Nursing, Therapy, Social Services) and fiscal information to improve program management, efficiencySpecifically, the aims of Phase I are to 1) work with the California Department of Aging in their rereporting requirements for ADCs. 2. Work with the California Adult Day Services Association (CAADS)three interested centers in reviewing and assessing information needs. 3. In collaboration with DoA,participating ADHCs design a model Information System for Adult Day Centers (IS-ADC). 4. Using a usebase management System (DBMS) develop a prototype of the proposed IS-ADC. If the prototype IS-ADC ismeets State DoA and ADHC needs, the State expects to adopt it as a standard for ADHC reporting. TherADHCs in California and over 400 ADCs. A majority of those responding to a CAADS survey were interespurchasing such a system. Effective information systems can reduce administrative costs, assist progplanning, and enhance clinical practice.
