Alzheimer’s Data and Analytics Hub
Data Management Core B
This project builds and organizes large-scale Alzheimer's health records and interview data so researchers can better study care patterns and outcomes for people with Alzheimer's and related dementias.

What this research studies
From a patient's point of view, this effort gathers and securely stores Medicare, Medicaid, and related health claims alongside interview and qualitative data about people with Alzheimer's and related dementias. The team will create common definitions, code libraries, and measures so different studies can be compared and combined. Analysts will prepare cleaned datasets and offer technical support to researchers using these resources. The core also plans for documentation and long-term access so future studies can reuse the curated data.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (or their caregivers) whose Medicare/Medicaid records or interview responses can be linked into the database.
Not a fit: People without Alzheimer's or related dementias, or those whose health records are not captured in the included administrative datasets, are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this resource could speed up research that identifies gaps in care, informs better clinical practices, and shapes policies to improve outcomes for people with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Other projects combining administrative claims and interview data have successfully supported Alzheimer's research, and this core expands those established data-integration approaches.
