Illumination Analytics is conducting a research study. Our aim is to understand the specific health issues that cause many seniors to lose their independence and transition to higher levels of care.
TITLE:
“A Comparison of the Basic Health Characteristics of Seniors Living in 3 settings: Independently at home, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing.”
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Community dwelling seniors with declining health gradually require transition to more supportive settings that often include assisted living and ultimately skilled nursing. Yet knowledge of the specific health characteristics that determine this transition from independence to dependence is lacking.
Illumination Analytics seeks to understand the specific health issues that drive this transition which is too often resisted by seniors until forced by failing health, and which is costly to the individuals, their families, and society.
SPECIFIC DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH INFORMATION REQUIRED:
- Demographics: age, gender, height, weight, payor (Medicaid vs. other), type of living residence (non-institutional home, assisted living, skilled nursing).
- List of diagnoses
- List of Medications
OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLABORATION:
To conduct this study, we seek collaborators who collect and will share de-identified health information for seniors 65 years of age and older.
- Hospitals
- Medical clinics
- Physician practices
- Insurers
- EHR or eMAR companies
- Home Health companies
- Personal care companies
- Assisted living facilities
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Private individuals who are willing to participate
All collaborators will have free access to all reports generated and be listed as participants in publications generated from this study.
