National Initiative to Advance Cost Information in Shared Decision-Making for Older Adults with Serious Health Conditions: Phase II Implementation Project

Grant Summary

FAIR Health, a national, independent source of health care cost data, will improve health care engagement for older adults, family caregivers and clinicians by implementing and promoting shared-decision making tools within four recognized Age-Friendly Health Systems sites. The tools developed in a prior planning grant help patients and families to understand cost and treatment options based on clinical risks and outcomes, allowing them to make decisions aligned with their preferences and values. This next phase will engage at least 40,000 website users; launch a national dissemination campaign reaching 10 million people; evaluate the value of the tools to patients, caregivers and clinicians; and educate policymakers.
