What is AD-MI?
Alzheimer’s Disease Measurement Improvement (AD-MI) is a voluntary, multi-stakeholder mega community around improving measurement to improve outcomes for Alzheimer’s patients.

What was the conference about?
The focus of the 2012 AD-MI Conference was the work of its three primary, active working groups. They presented their findings and general recommendations.

1. Draft a conceptual framework for measurement in Alzheimer’s disease: Develop specific definitions for constructs, concepts or domains and define the meaning of “alignment.”
2. Conduct an environmental scan to understand the measurement landscape in Alzheimer’s disease: Compile clinical practice guidelines, clinical pathways, measures, groups/researchers conducting work in these areas to help identify measurement gaps and areas should be addressed.
3. Develop an overall research agenda for the Alzheimer's community to improve measure development in Alzheimer’s disease:  Taking output from groups 1 and 2, draft a general research agenda for the future.
