NIA has asked the National Academies committee to make recommendations regarding which care interventions for individuals with dementia and their caregivers are “ready for dissemination and implementation on a broad scale.” To explore this concept in the specific context of the draft AHRQ/EPC systematic review, this session will engage stakeholders and decision
makers from advocacy organizations, associations, foundations, care systems, and implementation science to:
- Discuss what “ready for dissemination and implementation on a broad scale” means. How should this be assessed? What kinds of evidence do different stakeholders and decision makers look for?
- Provide input on the AHRQ/EPC draft systematic review.

- Continue to reflect on the draft AHRQ/EPC systematic review results, explore the current state of evidence, and discuss which care interventions for individuals with dementia and their caregivers may be ready for dissemination and implementation on a broad scale.
- Particular focus will be given to racial, ethnic, cultural, language, and socioeconomic considerations, across all aspects of the systematic review results.
- Discuss emerging data on care interventions that did not meet the evidentiary standard of the systematic review and data expected from studies under way that were not published in time for inclusion in the systematic review, and identify gaps and areas for future research.
