Popis:	This analysis postulates that greater and more frequent access to health information via the internet, using eHealth services, should lead to both improved performance in healthcare delivery and reduced deficiencies. eHealth is a technological tool that health practitioners in nursing homes can easily use. As such, they can obtain the information they need to make solid decisions when directing care plans and delivery for residents. The rationale behind this analysis is based on the major care deficiencies that have pervaded US nursing homes. Although the mission of the Nursing Home Reform Act, a 1987 federal law, was to secure quality care in nursing homes, the Nursing Home Reform Act has clearly fallen short in its priority to offer adequate provisions.
