Effect of Hospital and Community Care Coordination on Health Care Quality and Equity among Individuals with Risk Factors or Diagnosis of ADRD
Description: NARRATIVE The proposed research is relevant to public health because results will identify care coordination practices that can promote health care quality and equity for people with risk factors or diagnoses of ADRD, with a focus on African Americans, Latinos, and the hardest-to-reach population who receive federal housing assistance through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The results of our study are expected to provide evidence on cost-effective care coordination practices that can make care integration sustainable for underserved populations, and suggest optimal designs of health care systems, such as ACOs, to promote such care coordination practices. Thus, the proposed research is relevant to the NIA's mission (PAR-19-070, NOT-AG-18-056): “to identify which aspects of the community provide support to persons with dementia; identify the mechanisms and risk factors that explain disparities in service access and quality for persons with dementia; and identify how regulatory and economic incentives affect access, quality, and health outcomes in health systems for people with dementia.”
