The IMPACT Collaboratory will have a strong presence at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting, starting with a workshop by IMPACT multiple principal investigator Vincent Mor, PhD and colleagues.

The workshop entitled “The Long-Term Care Data Cooperative: Leveraging Nursing Home Electronic Health Records for Research,” will be held on the first day of GSA 2023, November 8.

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 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.

The full conference will be held November 8-12, 2023, in Tampa, Florida and will include presentations by multiple IMPACT members throughout the conference. Register or learn more about the conference and workshop at gsa2023.org.
