In a blog posted on November 5, 2015, AARP highlighted states’ efforts to measure quality in their long-term services and supports (LTSS) for older people and adults with disabilities using the National Core Indicators-Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD) consumer survey tool.  NCI-AD gathers valid and reliable data that states can use for state-to-state, regional, and programmatic comparisons and to drive improvements in care and quality of life for LTSS consumers.  June 1, 2015, marked the official launch of this state-run initiative, with 14 states committing to a statewide survey this year.
