Poster: Can a Mobile Application Aid in the Effectiveness of Skilled Nursing-Facility Communication Systems?

In this study, we tested and analyzed the potential effectiveness of skilled nursing-facility (SNF) communication via a connected health app. We did this in efforts to discover an innovative approach to improve the communication systems of SNFs. We designed a 12-question questionnaire that would be utilized in phone surveys with 30 randomly selected participants above the age of 21. The data gathered was then analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the addition of a mobile application into a nursing home.
