Improving Chronic Conditions Through Inexpensive Interventions

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite applications to create a national consortium of researchers, clinicians, and electronic health record (EHR) vendors. The consortium will conduct research to evaluate clinical effectiveness impacts of different care approaches on whole-person outcomes and quality metrics. This NOFO is intended to support collaborative research efforts for scaling EHR interventions. The consortium will identify proven primary care interventions for older adults with complex medical issues, then integrate these into interoperable, AI- and machine learning-enhanced platforms to support both individual patient care and population health management. Key aspects of the project include: • Creating a national consortium of researchers, clinicians, and EHR vendors • Conducting research to evaluate clinical effectiveness impacts of different care approaches • Identifying proven primary care interventions for older adults with complex medical issues • Integrating interventions into interoperable, AI- and machine learning-enhanced platforms • Supporting both individual patient care and population health management
