Introduction to the National Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS) Using AGing Integrated Database (AGID)

This webinar will provide an overview of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and the program's data collection, known as the National Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS). Participants will learn how this data is used to inform policy and practice. The webinar will also provide an introduction to the AGing Integrated Database (AGID), an online query system based on ACL-related data files and surveys. AGID includes NORS data and can display different levels of focus and aggregation, from individual data elements to full database access. The webinar will feature a live presentation of AGID to help participants learn how to operate the database and access NORS data.
