Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Treatment and Outcomes in America: Changing Policies and Systems. This Program Project proposal seeks to understand how the high-need ADRD patients at various stages of disease progression fare under alternative payment and regulatory structures. The project proposes to study the effects of Medicare policy changes on the care and outcomes experienced by persons with ADRD who interface with home health, skilled nursing, and long-term NH Care. The four projects and three cores all focus on the effects of national Medicare payment and quality regulation policies on the outcomes experienced by persons with ADRD.
2019-2024 Co-Principal Investigator. NIA U54AG063546 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell) NIA
AD/ADRD Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory.The NIA AD/ADRD Collaboratory will provide the national infrastructure necessary to catalyze and support embedded pragmatic clinical trials of non-pharmacological interventions for persons with dementia. By convening national experts to provide consultation and guidance to Collaboratory-funded pilot projects and NIA-funded trials, the Collaboratory has the potential to transform care delivery, quality, and outcomes for millions of Americans suffering with AD/ADRD.
2020-2021 Co-Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S1 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell)
(PI: McCreedy) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: Effect of a COVID-specific advance care planning intervention on documentation of advance directives and goals of care. The goal of the IMPACT Collaboratory is to accelerate the translation of research for people with dementia through embedded pragmatic research. This
supplement responds to the time urgency of the pandemic emergency. If successful, collaborating with the National Center for Excellence in Assisted Living (CEAL), we can quickly disseminate such effective interventions that can improve the quality of care at the end of life for ALC residents with dementia. Findings will be immediately useful to other physician groups reexamining advance directive orders for ALC residents during the pandemic.
2020-2021 Co-Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S4 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell)
(PI: Chodosh) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: COVID-19 Serologic Strategies for Skilled Nursing Facilities. We anticipate that this pilot study will set the stage for a larger trial that will ultimately set evidence-based policy for SNF staff-resident assignments that minimize risk of acquiring COVID-19, and directly improve the care of millions of Americans with ADRD.
2020-2021 Co-Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S3 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell)
(PI: Lipsitz) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: Evaluation of a State-wide Effort to Improve COVID-19 Infection Control in Massachusetts Nursing Homes. This project will lay the groundwork for future clinical trials in other states and health care networks, and will hopefully led to the widespread dissemination of effective infection control practices in our nation’s nursing homes.
2020-2022 Co-Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S2 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell)
(PI: Berry) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: Improved Testing for COVID-19 in Skilled Nursing Facilities: IMPACT-C. There is an urgent need to develop equitable, compassionate strategies to test SNF residents and healthcare workers for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This proposal will leverage the foundation of the NIA IMbedded Pragmatic AD/ADRD Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory to establish IMPACT-COVID-19 (IMPACT-C), a collaborative dedicated to developing and evaluating SARS-CoV-2 testing strategies in highly vulnerable SNF residents and workers. IMPACT-C will assemble the organizational, administrative, and expertise components necessary to swiftly conduct a rigorous vaccine trial, when available.
2020-2021 Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S5 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell) (PI:
Mor) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: Designing a Real Time COVID-19 vaccination Adverse Event Monitoring System for Nursing Home residents. SARS-CoV-2 has devastated US nursing homes, killing a high proportion of this vulnerable population. Once a vaccine has been approved, current plans are to administer to all nursing home residents quickly. We propose building and testing a real time Adverse Events monitoring system using electronic medical records updated daily from a large national nursing home chain that will be able to serve as an early warning system of unanticipated adverse effects of receiving a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
2021-2022 Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S7 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell) (PI:
Mor: CVS) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: Monitoring Medicare Beneficiaries' Response to COVID vaccines. This project will create a quasi “real time” data base that can be used to monitor the rates of adverse events of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the frail, elderly and demented populations, few of whom were included in the phase 3 vaccine trials. The resulting data base and proposed analyses will provide the basis for assessing mid to long term safety and efficacy of the different vaccines being distributed for use in the elderly population in the country.
2021-2024 Principal Investigator. NIA 3U54AG063546-02S6 (MPIs: Mor & Mitchell) (PI:
Mor: AHCA) IMPACT SUPPLEMENT: IMPACT Nursing Home Data Sharing
Cooperative. In order to enhance providers’, researchers’ and policy makers’ ability to track the incidence, morbidity and mortality of COVID among selected sub-groups of nursing home residents such as those with ADRD and those who are racial and ethnic minorities, this project will build an integrated electronic medical record-based data infrastructure for some 10,000 skilled nursing facilities serving hundreds of thousands of residents in order to track the impact of the current pandemic and future similar phenomenon.
2019-2024 Other Significant Contributor. NIA K01AG057822 (PI: Rivera-Hernandez)

2017-2022 Principal Investigator. NIA R33AG057451. METRIcAL – Music & Memory: a
Pragmatic Trial for Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer’s Disease. This study will test the effect of a personalized music intervention (Music & Memory) to reduce agitated and aggressive behaviors among nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia during a four-year R33 pragmatic trial.
2020-2022 Mentor. AHRQ R36AG068199 (PI: Fashaw) Disparities in Access to High-
Quality Home Health and the Impact of Public Reporting. The overall objective of this application, is to use national administrative datasets (e.g., standardized HH patient assessment data) to analyze differences in access to high-quality HH care for vulnerable older adults and to understand if and how public reporting influences patients’ access to high-quality services.
2021 Mentor. AHRQ R36 (PI: Bosco) Use and Outcomes of Opioid and Non-opioid

B: COMPLETED GRANTS 2017-2020 Principal Investigator. Department of Veteran’s Affairs, HSR&D. The Effect of
Reduction and Standardization of Reimbursements in VA Fee-Basis Program: Impact on Quality of Care and Health Outcomes. This project will investigate the impact of recent changes in VA policy towards reimbursing non-VA dialysis facilities that treat Veterans.

The objective of this study is to examine whether current Medicare payment policies, which distinguish patients going to nursing homes (NHs) based on the amount of Skilled Nursing Facilty (SNF) revenue they are expected to generate, create barriers to admission to high quality NHs for post-acute patients. Based on recent qualitative evidence showing that high-quality NHs increasingly solicit referrals for the most lucrative post-acute care patients, this study uses a novel strategy to emulate the process of screening patients according to the level of anticipated SNF reimbursement.
