Beyond the Plan: How to Measure MPA Impact
Article Publication Date
Summary
West Health recently released a new issue brief examining progress indicators for states’ Multisector Plans for Aging (MPAs).
Population-level outcomes can take years to surface, so how do states know their MPAs are working in the meantime? This issue brief examines the progress reports, implementation trackers, and data dashboards that states are using to capture earlier signs of change. The issue brief also highlights state progress across seven policy domains – economic security, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, caregiving, community and connection, behavioral health, housing, and transportation – and includes a roundup of state reporting tools that readers can filter by state.
