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）：长期护理中的务实创新，改善了居民生活质量：向美国国家老龄化研究所的会议赠款提案；摘要：该U-13合作会议赠款提案旨在召集全国会议，以制定有关长期护理中实用创新（LTC）的研究议程（LTC），以改善居民生活质量。 LTC改变的需求得到了广泛认可，消费者和提供商都对当前系统的许多组成部分不满意。此外，在LTC行业本身中，不断增长的运动认为，新的护理模式是可能的，而不会大幅提高成本。这种创新的一个关键特征是专注于LTC居民，目的是提高其日常体验的质量。这些创新是在基层实施的，仅是严格评估的重点。结果，为了识别和传播成功的创新所需的最需要的研究是不存在的，不完整或传播不足的。因此，拟议的会议将在一个过程中进行一个过程，在该过程中，将总结有关LTC中实用创新的现有知识，确定差距和优先级。 该会议将在LTC实践，政策和研究方面组装35名专家，以实现以下目标：a）提高研究和政策社区对LTC当前正在实施的创新范围的认识，以及在哪些轶事，案例报告和/或研究数据中都有对居住局面的积极影响； b）选择（从确定的创新中）选择似乎有可能提高居民生活质量并广泛适用于LTC的方法，以进一步的疗效和/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，包括推荐方法学方法来解决确定的研究优先级。在与美国国家老龄化研究所的密切合作中，这些努力将在两份已发表的报告中达到顶峰：对LTC和相关研究中实用创新的当前状况的回顾，以及研究议程（包括理由和方法论建议）。
