This research brief summarizes the results of Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elderly (ACOVE)-2, which measured the quality of care delivered to a group of older adults, and describes a recent revision of the quality measures, known as ACOVE-3.
In 2007, the ACOVE indicators were updated to include more health conditions and to give greater consideration to the appropriateness of care for patients with advanced dementia or an otherwise poor prognosis.
