This federal Project Grant award titled "MISSED HOME HEALTH CARE IN OLDER ADULTS WITH DEMENTIA: IDENTIFYING DRIVERS, OUTCOMES, AND COSTS" is provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The $627,916 award will fund a 5-year research project at Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in Aurora, CO to identify key drivers and mitigators of missed home health care, examine the relationship between missed care and clinical outcomes/costs for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and develop best practices to reduce missed home health services. The research will use a mixed-methods approach including quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews with healthcare providers, caregivers, and patients. The overarching goal is to improve in-home supports and outcomes for this vulnerable population following hospital discharge.
