Abstract
As long-term care (LTC) facilities adapted to evolving healthcare dynamics and the needs of residents, technology underwent a metamorphosis, transitioning from simple tools to sophisticated systems designed to address complex care challenges. This evolution reflects an enduring commitment to enhancing care quality, safety, and resident outcomes within LTC settings. As technology continues to advance, the potential for further innovation and improvement in LTC remains vast. The landscape of LTC is undergoing rapid transformation through the integration of various technological and innovative advancements, enhancing care quality, streamlining operations, and boosting resident outcomes. This chapter explores the transformative role of technology, innovation, and information technology in LTC settings. It emphasizes how modern advancements such as electronic health records, telehealth, and artificial intelligence are not only revolutionizing resident care but also optimizing operational efficiencies and improving resident health outcomes.
