Journal: BMJ open
Published Date: Jul 16, 2025

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Although artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely applied to electronic health record (EHR) data in hospital environments, its use in long-term care (LTC) facilities remains unexplored. Limited information technology infrastructure and unique challenges in LTC settings require a comprehensive examination of AI's potential to enhance care quality and operational efficiency. With the aim of examining the application of AI to EHR data in LTC facilities, this scoping review will identify current AI applications for EHR in LTC, informing future research and potential care improvements in LTC settings.
