The second data collection period has now elapsed for all of the study homes.

Data Analysis

Now that we have data for two of the three data collection periods, analytic staff are working on statistical programs to evaluate the project. Results from these analyses will be included in our final report to AHRQ at the study’s end.

Partnership Survey

Project staff are currently calling all National Quality Coalition members to discuss your thoughts about long-term care research and your interest in continuing to partner with the AMDA Foundation after this study ends. Some of our questions include:

• How much value do you see in long-term care research?
• How much value do you see in an AMDA Foundation research dvisory board?
• If such a board were created, what should its primary objectives be?
• Would you be interested in participating?
