In Phase I, RTZ Associates studied the feasibility of creating a management information tool for ADCs that would also serve as an on-going collection tool of key information for researchers and policy makers. To encourage center staff to continue to use the tool and to improve data quality, RTZ built a software system for data collection that also met ADCs billing and state compliance requirements. This inducement to use a research tool proved so helpful that a full 67% of all Medicaid- reimbursed ADCs in California purchased the system to manage their programs. Two competing products have become all but extinct. In Phase II, RTZ will create a similar core information system in 25 centers in four additional states: Iowa, Hawaii, Connecticut, and Arizona. The five pilot sites in each state will help create a product that will enable RTZ to do three things: l) create a universal assessment tool to predict the level of care needed upon admittance of a client to a program; 2) provide the 25 pilot sites with a state specific management tool; and 3) provide an easily accessible on-going source of data for researchers. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The project will produce a software package for use by adult day centers across the country, develop Internet mechanisms for data set and will produce a National data set for ADC research. The project will develop the tool with 25 day centers in five states. There are over 5000 ADCs in the United States who would be potential consumers of the software, technical assistance, and data management services.

在第一阶段，RTZ Associates 研究了创建一个 ADC 的管理信息工具，也将作为持续的 研究人员和政策制定者的关键信息收集工具。 鼓励中心工作人员继续使用该工具并改进数据 质量，RTZ 构建了一个数据收集软件系统，也满足 ADC 计费和状态合规性要求。 这种使用诱因 事实证明，一项研究工具非常有用，以至于 67% 的医疗补助计划- 加利福尼亚州的报销 ADC 购买了该系统来管理他们的 程序。两种竞争产品几乎已经绝迹。同相 二、RTZ将在25个中心建立类似的核心信息系统 另外四个州：爱荷华州、夏威夷州、康涅狄格州和亚利桑那州。 五个 每个州的试点站点将帮助创建一款能够支持 RTZ 的产品 要做三件事： l) 创建一个通用的评估工具来预测 客户加入项目后所需的护理水平； 2）提供 拥有国家特定管理工具的 25 个试点地点； 3) 提供 为研究人员提供易于访问的持续数据源。 拟议的商业应用： 该项目将制作一个软件包供成人日间中心使用 在全国范围内建立数据集互联网机制 为 ADC 研究生成国家数据集。该项目将发展 该工具在五个州设有 25 个日间中心。有超过 5000 个 ADC 美国将是该软件的潜在消费者， 技术援助和数据管理服务。
