This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $2,373,964 will fund a 3-year study examining the use of telehealth to improve care for long-stay nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) qualitatively assess how telehealth is used in nursing homes and barriers/facilitators to its adoption, 2) characterize telehealth and in-person care utilization patterns for this population...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, provides $2,247,334 to the University of Rochester to conduct a mixed-methods study on factors influencing the impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' telemedicine policy on assisted living residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The study aims to examine telemedicine and in-person outpatient service utilization, as well as downstream...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to examine the use of home-based medical care (HBMC) and telemedicine among persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (PLWD) in both public (fee-for-service) and private (Medicare Advantage) Medicare plans. The $2,054,062 award will fund a study to identify national trends in HBMC and telemedicine utilization, and rigorously evaluate their impact on outcomes such as treatment...
The Department of Health and Human Services' National Institute on Aging provided $2,340,878 under its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to assess the long-term impact of expanded telemedicine use on dementia care. The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco will conduct a sequential mixed-methods study from 2022-2025 to characterize dementia patients' telemedicine use in Kaiser Permanente Northern California and UCSF Health primary care settings. The study will analyze...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to advance geriatric palliative care by assessing the feasibility and acceptability of using radio frequency (RF) sensors to capture cardiopulmonary measures in nursing home patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The $451,721 award to Weill Medical College of Cornell University will also develop a machine learning algorithm to autonomously detect and predict respiratory...
This $1,306,862 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will fund research on the relationship between real estate investment trust (REIT) investments in nursing homes and the quality of end-of-life care for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project, led by Weill Medical College of Cornell University, will construct a nationally representative database of nursing home residents with...
This $334,788 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate the impact of recent revisions to the Medicare home health payment system (Patient-Driven Groupings Model or PDGM) on access, care delivery, and outcomes for community-living Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The 2-year study, starting September 1, 2023, will leverage Medicare claims, home health assessment, and agency data to:...
This $1,933,556 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to assess the impact of hospital-based health information technology (hospital-HIT) on healthcare quality and equity for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary awardee, the University of Maryland, College Park, will conduct a ten-year longitudinal study to evaluate how hospital-HIT systems that promote care...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $584,820 to support a 5-year research study led by Dr. Whitley Aamodt at the University of Pennsylvania. The goal is to improve end-of-life (EOL) care quality for hospitalized patients with Lewy body disorders, a type of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). The project has two key objectives: 1) develop a risk prediction model to identify patients at high risk of 6-month mortality,...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $596,258 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Weill Medical College of Cornell University to characterize and predict patient trajectories after live discharge from hospice among older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to apply longitudinal clustering methods to Medicare claims and encounter data to identify patient subgroups with heterogeneous trajectories after hospice live discharge,...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a $858,870 research study to evaluate the impact of expanded telehealth provision on the quality of end-of-life care for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study, led by Weill Medical College of Cornell University, will characterize patterns of telehealth usage, assess how telehealth access mediates disparities in specialized care, and measure the relationship between telehealth and the quality/cost of end-of-life care for this patient population. The project will also leverage a sub-award to Dr. Paul Katz at Florida State University to provide clinical expertise on geriatric care and dementia management in nursing homes. The award aims to provide insights on the potential impacts of changes to Medicare telehealth coverage on care quality and outcomes for a vulnerable patient group.
