IMPACT multiple principal investigator Vincent Mor, PhD and colleagues will hold a workshop entitled “The Long-Term Care Data Cooperative: Leveraging Nursing Home Electronic Health Records for Research,” at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting on November 8, 2023.

The Long-Term Care Data Cooperative is funded by the National Institute of Aging and aims to improve the quality of care within skilled nursing facilities by compiling the most comprehensive electronic health records data on nursing home residents nationwide. This data can be linked to Medicare claims and includes over 2,100 nursing homes, 386,000 residents, 6.7 million distinct patient diagnoses, 12.4 million medication prescriptions, 300 million medication administrations, 550,000 vaccination records, and 290 million vital signs observations.

The interactive workshop will enable attendees to learn how the LTC Data Cooperative is generating real-world evidence on treatments and care practices. They will receive access to explore sample data, gain a comprehensive understanding of the core data model, and learn how to request access for research purposes. In addition, interested attendees can apply for one-year “real world data scholars” training grants.

The workshop will be held on the afternoon of November 8 – the first day of the conference.

The full conference will be held November 8-12, 2023, in Tampa, Florida.
