DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pragmatic Innovations in Long-Term Care that Improve Resident Quality of Life: A Conference Grant Proposal to the National Institute on Aging; Abstract: This U-13 cooperative conference grant proposal seeks to convene a national conference to develop a research agenda on pragmatic innovations in long-term care (LTC) that can improve resident quality of life. The need for change in LTC is widely acknowledged, and both consumers and providers are dissatisfied with many components of the present system. Furthermore, within the LTC industry itself, a growing movement believes that new models of care are possible without major increases in cost. A key feature of such innovations is a focus on the LTC residents, with the goal of improving the quality of their day-to-day experiences. These innovations are implemented at a grassroots level and have only rarely been the focus of rigorous evaluation. As a result, the research most needed in order to identify and spread successful innovation is nonexistent, incomplete, or poorly disseminated. Therefore, the proposed conference will put in place a process whereby existing knowledge on pragmatic innovations in LTC will be summarized, gaps identified, and priorities set. The conference will assemble 35 experts in LTC practice, policy, and research, toward the following goals: a) to increase awareness among the research and policy Communities about the range of innovations currently being implemented in LTC, and about which anecdotal, case report, and/or research data exist indicating a positive impact on resident outcomes; b) to select (from among those identified innovations) the approaches that appear to have potential to enhance resident quality of life and to be widely applicable in LTC, for which further efficacy and/or effectiveness research and broader dissemination is indicated; and c) to develop a research agenda to assess the efficacy and/or effectiveness of these innovations, including recommending methodological approaches to address the identified research priorities. In close collaboration with the National Institute on Aging, these efforts will culminate in two published reports: a review of the current status of pragmatic innovations in LTC and related research, and a research agenda (including rationale and methodological recommendations).

描述（由申请人提供）：提高居民生活质量的长期护理的务实创新：向国家老龄化研究所提出的会议资助提案；摘要：这项 U-13 合作会议拨款提案旨在召开一次全国会议，制定一项关于长期护理 (LTC) 务实创新的研究议程，以提高居民的生活质量。 LTC 变革的必要性已得到广泛认可，但消费者和提供商都对当前系统的许多组成部分都不满意。此外，在长期护理行业内部，越来越多的运动认为，在成本不大幅增加的情况下，新的护理模式是可能的。此类创新的一个关键特点是关注长期护理中心居民，目标是提高他们的日常体验质量。这些创新是在基层实施的，很少成为严格评估的焦点。结果，识别和传播成功创新最需要的研究不存在、不完整或传播不良。因此，拟议的会议将建立一个流程，总结LTC务实创新的现有知识，找出差距并确定优先事项。 会议将聚集 35 名 LTC 实践、政策和研究领域的专家，以实现以下目标： a) 提高研究和政策界对 LTC 目前正在实施的一系列创新的认识，以及哪些轶事、案例报告和/或研究数据表明对居民结果有积极影响； b)（从那些已确定的创新中）选择似乎有潜力提高居民生活质量并广泛适用于 LTC 的方法，为此需要进行进一步的功效和/或有效性研究以及更广泛的传播； c) 制定研究议程来评估这些创新的功效和/或有效性，包括建议解决已确定的研究重点的方法方法。通过与国家老龄化研究所的密切合作，这些努力将最终形成两份已发表的报告：对长期护理和相关研究务实创新现状的回顾，以及研究议程（包括基本原理和方法建议）。
