Developing Interventions to Address Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health: An NIA Translational Conference to Promote the National Research Council’s Recommendations for Minority Aging Research
The NIA has sponsored a number of efforts to address and understand health disparities of older adults. One important vehicle is the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR). This year’s RCMAR sponsored GSA pre-conference on minority aging research focuses on four recommendations from the National Research Council Report on Minority Aging Research that include studying behavior risk factors over the life course in different racial and ethnic groups (#8); clarifying how bio-psycho-social factors affect health outcomes over time in racial and ethnic groups of middle-aged and older adults (#13); placing particular emphasis on panel studies that follow cohorts in order to study differences in health among racial and ethnic groups over the life course (#16); and measuring the use of complementary and alternative therapies by racial and ethnic groups (#17). The pre-conference translates the issues identified in these recommendations into a series of presentations, discussions and small group activities.

Key Topics in Long-Term Care: Person-Centered Care and Translational Research
The morning workshop will discuss how person-centered care measures can be used to assess the experiences of patients, caregivers and staff across a variety of long-term care settings. This workshop will include panels on three themes: 1) Measures to assess patient experiences in long-term care transitions; 2) Staff measures of work environment in evaluations of person-centered care and culture change; and 3) Methodological and logistical issues of assessing person-centeredness across long-term care settings. The afternoon workshop will address the gap between the growing volume of research in long-term care produced and its limited use by providers and policymakers. An overview panel will describe translational research initiatives in licensed settings and discuss unique challenges related to collaboration, study design, and translation for practice and policy. Subsequent panels will discuss translational research in three focus areas: 1) Dementia care and physical environments; 2) Transitions in care; and 3) Prevention of medical errors.

Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training and Assessment in an Evidence-based Practice (EBP) Improvement Context
As the current discussion on health care reform points to the need for clinically integrated health care systems using an interdisciplinary team care approach and evidence-based practices (EBP), this workshop provides the audience a timely orientation to ways of implementing and assessing team care in an EBP context. Participants will first learn the basic structure of an interdisciplinary team and major elements of team process. Interdisciplinary team training models, teaching resources, and related competencies will be presented and discussed. Team-oriented evidence based quality improvement projects in diseases management will be shared by participants. Special challenges that are context-specific (e.g. in hospitals or nursing homes) to team care interventions will be identified. Various team care assessment approaches will also be presented. The multidisciplinary competencies developed by the Partnership for Health in Aging (PHA) coalition will be used as a framework for guiding the presentations throughout the workshop.
