Description
 
The current number of Americans diagnosed with AD is expected to rise from 5.4 million today to 13.5 million by 2050. With the increased need for memory care construction we are currently being inundated with innovative programs and products in the memory care space. But how are we adopting these innovative ideas and concepts and using clinical and programming data to measuring their success? This presentation is designed to be interactive including discussion as well as polling for the audience to give real time feedback. 
 
Join memory care expert, nurse, blogger, Rita Altman, as she takes us through a decision making process for organizations faced with making decisions about new products and programmatic offerings. We’ll explore some ways to improve efficiencies, measure programmatic outcomes as we strive to provide a higher level of quality of life for residents living with Alzheimer’s and related forms of memory loss.
