The National Committee for Quality Assurance and Pfizer Inc. have jointly released a publication that profiles strategies and recommendations for improving the quality of care for older adults.

Quality Profiles: The Leadership Series—Focus on Enhancing Care for Older Adults offers a comprehensive and innovative commentary on elder care, designed to help stakeholders improve current care strategies and plan for future needs. It includes case studies that address many challenges in the elder care field, including:

  • The advantages of hip protectors that displace the impact of a fall and reduce hip fractures for frail, elderly people
  • How the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey data can be used to help health plans identify comorbidities in their Medicare populations to target interventions more effectively
  • A program to increase screening for osteoporosis and educate patients about this condition

The Quality Profiles series includes editions that focus on cardiovascular disease, depression and diabetes. For more information, visit www.qualityprofiles.org.
