title: A support system to make care plan of elders.
abstract: The population of persons over the age of 65 is rapidly growing. In order to provide care to residents of long term care facilities and care to senior citizens in home, Minimum Data Set (MDS), the Clients Assessment Protocols (CAPs) and MDS-Home Care CAPs (MDS-HC CAPs) have been are offered by the HCFA and interRAI Overview Committee. According to offered guidelines, nursing staff spend much time to process measuring ADL (Activities Daily of Livings) of clients and to find problem areas. We have developed the information system to assist nursing staff to reduce this paper work. This system consists of generating problem areas; providing shared files to nursing staff, simple MDS input methods and mobile handy terminal which includes a video camera tool. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of Integrated Information System To Help Nursing Senior Citizens.
