The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) posted a call for public input to inform an Evidence Map on Home and Community Based Services. The solicitation includes multiple specific questions on which AHRQ is seeking feedback.

HHS is also looking for domestic research on access to evidence-based home and community-based services (HCBS) for older adults using person centered-planning principles. This is a great opportunity for HCBS providers who maintain data on institutional diversions, quality outcomes, financial cost avoidance to government programs, or other related topics to submit information on your program to AHRQ. More information is available here.
