Advancing Healthcare for Older Adults from Populations that Experience Health Disparities

Funds research into screening, decision-making and care coordination for older adults in populations that get worse healthcare.

OpenNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

This initiative funds multi-level health care research for older adults in populations that experience health disparities, and it names three things it wants understood.

First, what appropriate screening, diagnostic and clinical care guidelines look like in a primary care setting for these patients.

Second, the shared decision-making needed between clinicians and care teams on one side and the oโ€ฆ

Multi-level health care research for older adults in populations experiencing health disparities โ€” appropriate screening, diagnostic and clinical care guidelines in primary care, shared decision-making between clinicians, older adults and caregivers, and effective care coordination strategies.
