A co–principal investigator of the Pragmatic Trial of Video Education in Nursing Homes (PROVEN), a recently completed NIH Collaboratory Trial, will report the main outcomes of the study during NIH Collaboratory Grand Rounds this week.

The PROVEN team developed video-assisted decision support tools for advance care planning that showed efficacy in small randomized controlled trials. The goal of PROVEN was to evaluate the effectiveness of those video tools in real-world nursing home settings by embedding the intervention in 2 large healthcare systems that operate 492 nursing homes nationwide.

Dr. Susan Mitchell of Harvard Medical School will present “A Cluster Randomized Pragmatic Trial of an Advance Care Planning Video Intervention in Long-Stay Nursing Home Residents: Main Findings from the PROVEN Trial.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, June 12, at 1:00 pm eastern. Join the online meeting.

PROVEN is supported within the NIH Collaboratory by a cooperative agreement from the National Institute on Aging.
