ADGAP is developing a business case toolkit for members to make the business case for geriatrics at their academic institutions. An exclusive ADGAP member benefit, the goal of this toolkit is to create a compendium of proven strategies and communication tools (e.g., slide decks, spreadsheets, economic arguments or analyses, evaluation of entering risk-based contracts) developed by ADGAP members for use at their own institutions to share with other Program Directors. We are actively looking for ADGAP members with tools and strategies to share – both those that were successful and those that sizzled. Tools can be for any point in the arc of a program (e.g., obtaining C-Suite buy-in, start up, sustainability). Do you have a tool to submit? Please click here to complete the toolkit form. This form provides background information (e.g., key stakeholders, arguments for change, challenges, formulas) that you used to make the case for a new program/idea or expansion of an existing service. Please provide as much information as possible, but you don’t have to complete all comment boxes if some are not applicable. The Business Case Toolkit Workgroup Members will work with you on refining your tool to share nationally.
Ready to submit a tool or have questions? Contact Anna Kim (akim@americangeriatrics.org) or Marianna Drootin (mdrootin@americangeriatrics.org).
