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）：务实的长期护理创新，提高居民的生活质量：会议拨款建议，国家老龄问题研究所;摘要：这U-13合作会议拨款建议旨在召开一次全国会议，制定一项研究议程，在长期护理（LTC），可以提高居民的生活质量的务实创新。人们普遍认为长期护理服务需要改变，消费者和提供者都对目前制度的许多组成部分感到不满。此外，在长期护理行业本身，一个不断增长的运动认为，新的护理模式是可能的，而不会大幅增加成本。这些创新的一个关键特征是关注LTC居民，目标是提高他们的日常体验质量。这些创新在基层实施，很少受到严格评价。因此，识别和传播成功创新最需要的研究是不存在的，不完整的，或传播不良。因此，拟议的会议将建立一个程序，总结现有的知识，务实的创新，在长期培训，找出差距，并确定优先事项。 会议将聚集35名LTC实践，政策和研究专家，实现以下目标：a）提高研究和政策社区对LTC目前正在实施的创新范围的认识，以及存在哪些轶事，案例报告和/或研究数据表明对居民成果产生积极影响; B）选择（从这些已确定的创新中）似乎有可能提高居民生活质量并广泛适用于长期护理的方法，需要进一步进行功效和/或有效性研究并更广泛地传播;（c）制订研究议程，以评估这些创新的效能和/或效益，包括就处理已确定的研究优先事项的方法提出建议。在与国家老龄问题研究所密切合作下，这些努力最终将发表两份报告：一份是对长期护理和相关研究中务实创新现状的审查，另一份是研究议程（包括理由和方法建议）。
