The data cooperative’s goal is to provide data that will help evaluate policy changes, care practices, and other interventions. When linked with CMS claims data, the data cooperative will be able to track care utilization before, during, and after a stay in either long-term care setting. In addition to describing the cooperative, the program will highlight its value in dementia program evaluation and comparative effectiveness studies.
