Working Groups
Purpose of the Working Groups
The purpose of the Working Groups is to meet monthly to accelerate collaborative research on measurement and data around a specific dementia home- and community-based services (HCBS) topic:
-
Dementia HCBS Access and Unmet Needs: identifying barriers and facilitators to accessing HCBS for persons with dementia; associated outcomes; and how to measure or mitigate unmet HCBS needs for persons with dementia.
-
Dementia HCBS Interventions: identifying promising interventions delivered through HCBS or settings for persons with dementia; measuring outcomes associated with those HCBS interventions among persons with dementia.
-
Dementia HCBS State Policies: identifying promising state policies on HCBS for persons with dementia; measurement and analytic approaches to understanding the effects of state policies on HCBS for persons with dementia.
