Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections among nursing home (NH) residents. Antibiotics are often misused when a UTI is suspected. Using sophisticated information technology (IT) could help in appropriate UTI prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This repeated cross-sectional study explored relationships between IT maturity and UTI prevalence among long-stay NH residents. Data were from (1) four annual surveys 2013-2017 measuring IT maturity in a random sample of Medicare-certified NHs, (2) Minimum Data Set assessments for resident characteristics, and (3) Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting data for facility characteristics. In multivariate regressions using NH fixed effects, controlling for resident and NH characteristics, Administrative IT maturity in NHs was associated with decreased odds of UTI (AOR: 0.906, 95% CI: 0.843, 0.973). These results were robust in all sensitivity analyses. Using IT to relieve administrative burden may decrease UTIs.
