PMCID: PMC2280815  PMID: 21248993

Abstract

With the increasing expenditure on health-care programs for seniors, there is an urgent need to evaluate such programs. The Measurement Iterative Loop is a tool that can provide both health administrators and health researchers with a method of evaluation of existing programs and identification of gaps in knowledge, and forms a rational basis for health-care policy decisions. In this article, the Loop is applied to one common problem of the elderly: dementia.

Keywords: elderly, dementia, health-care programs, Measurement Iterative Loop
