HHS Expands Vision on Alzheimer's National Action Plan

Back in January, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that it was creating a national action plan against Alzheimer's disease. Now they're offering additional details.

A draft released by the HHS on Wednesday calls for:

• Registries to better direct Alzheimer's patients into clinical trials
• Establishing a national inventory of research investments
• Private partners to work with government officials in formulating evidence-based guidelines for Alzheimer's care
• Creating a national clearinghouse to publicize the above-mentioned guidelines
• Analyzing healthcare entities and accountable care organizations for outcomes among Alzheimer's patients
