Documentation computer tools for nursing homes are uncommon, with few nursing homes having access to electronic systems. At St. Paul's Nursing Home an UCSD student engineering team created a web based solution for the nursing staff progress notes. The purpose was to develop innovative design processes so other groups can emulate similar processes. By collecting information from nurse notes and feedback, a web based system with high level of user input standardization was created. The system is currently in use at the St. Paul's facility.

Aims: Few studies have explored empowerment as a predictor of mental health outcomes in geriatric healthcare professionals. This research addresses this gap by using the 'effort-reward imbalance' theory of work-related stress to develop a comprehensive model, examining the role of psychological empowerment in the psychological outcomes of nursing home professionals.
Design: This cross-sectional exploratory study used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test a model on the mediating role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between effort-reward ratio and burnout, anxiety and depression.
