The National Council on Aging (NCOA) and United Healthcare are currently collaborating on an annual survey of 4,000 people with oversampling of certain sub-populations, including aging adults.  The survey is intended to capture population health developments after the passage of healthcare reform.  Subsections of the survey include health and wellness, economic stability, and interaction wth the healthcare system.

The NCOA conducted analysis from select questions in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 surveys to answer the following research question: What is the quality of life for those in the aging population with multiple chronic conditions who interact both with community-based organizations (CBOs) and a healthcare clinician?  The NCOA conducted the analysis using select questions and a logistic regression model and found that clinical and community partnerships correlated more with high quality of life in aging adults than those who interacted only with a clinician or only a CBO.  These findings support  the health administration of self-management programs including a more integrated model of care and its increasing prevalence over three years.
