Five Star Senior Living fully implemented an electronic health record system at The Gardens of Scottsdale, a continuing care retirement / life plan community in Scottsdale, AZ, in December.

The company said it intends to continue to implement EHRs in all of its continuing care, assisted living and memory care communities as well as in its skilled nursing communities. “Our goal is to advance communication and strengthen relationships between care providers and physicians while reducing re-hospitalizations ultimately creating the best possible experience for our residents, staff and partners,” says Scott Herzig, Five Star’s chief operating officer.
