Technology has always been important to ProviNET Solutions. Already more than a decade ago, we recognized it as an important tool for enhancing human relationships. Technology allows us to do certain tasks more efficiently and cost-effectively, so that we can invest more time and resources in people and care. Technology gives us ways to connect residents and their family members who live far away. And now, with the advent of Electronic Medical Records [EMR], technology can ensure greater efficiency and accuracy of health information.

An electronic medical record is now being developed, based on a core product by HealthMEDX. "We are about 50 percent through [the process] with our parent company," says Goodfriend. "A smaller stand-alone community could do it in a year. For a bigger company like us, we are moving slow because we have so many manual processes and custom forms, plus each community has different relationships with hospitals, etc.

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing devices have exploded in popularity in recent years. In the U.S., many states have made genetic testing mandatory for obtaining healthcare. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing can be provided directly to the individual or through a DNA lab. Because genetic information is in the public domain, genetic companies and laboratories are allowed to legally sell direct-to-consumer genetic testing services. The fastest growing sector for direct-to-consumer genetic testing devices is genomics. Genomics refers to the study of entire genome sequences, or the entire genetic code or transcript. The most popular genetic tests use genetic variation to make predictions about specific traits, offer information about common genetic traits, and provide clues about an individual or ancestry. As of June 2020, there were over 900 publicly available genetic variants. There are two primary types of genetic testing for individuals requesting genetic testing for healthcare purposes: home DNA tests and DNA swabs. Home DNA testing allows individuals to create their own DNA genetic profile at home using a kit that contains instructions and materials. DNA samples can be collected from different parts of the body, including the head, foot, and saliva. Saliva is the best source because it contains high levels of glucose and other nutrients that are passed into the blood stream. Most companies may require the use of a saliva collection kit for DNA collection from the mouth. DNA extracted from the saliva can then be analyzed through DNA profiling and compared to data from the patient's DNA samples. DNA swabs can be collected by a company through a dental, or medical setting. A DNA swab is used to collect a DNA sample from a small area on the skin, such as the palm or back of the hand. DNA samples can also be collected by a company through a swab on the cheek or elsewhere on the body. Once a DNA sample is extracted from a tissue sample, it is sent to the lab for analy
