AOD Software will integrate the INTERACT Quality Improvement program into its Answers™ electronic health record program, the company announced at the LeadingAge annual meeting in Dallas.

Through a license with Florida Atlantic University, INTERACT will be embedded in the clinical workflows of Answers EHR. INTERACT, created by FAU professor Joseph Ouslander, M.D., allows early identification and assessment of the change of status in long-term care residents.

The goal is that it will help providers both improve care and reduce readmissions to hospitals, said AOD and vice president of research and development Charles George.
