Home-based medical care and telemedicine for dementia patients on Medicare

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This project looks at whether receiving medical care at home or through telemedicine helps people living with Alzheimer's and related dementias, who often have multiple health issues. Researchers will compare outcomes for patients using home-based care versus traditional office visits within traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. The study will use existing Medicare data to understand patterns, outcomes, and potential benefits in real-world settings. The goal is to identify approaches that support better management of dementia and reduce caregiver burden. Results could guide physicians and policymakers on expanding accessible care for ADRD patients.
