Using Data to Grow Programs & Investors

Best Programs for Caregivers (BPC), formerly Best Practice Caregiving, is a unique database of evidence-based interventions for family caregivers and persons with dementia. It is unique because it combines details about each intervention, references the research, examines costs factors for implementation and reports on field experience from organizations that have replicated the interventions. The database covers all the details required for health systems, social service providers and other community-based organizations to make informed selections to guide use within their own businesses. 

Bridge Builder Strategies has been a key partner for Best Programs for Caregiving since in launched in January 2020. The initial scope of work for this initiative is to work with the BPC Partner staff to develop strategies to sustain the database that includes updating current listings; adding additional interventions as they become available; maintain any unusual technology problems; and continue to market the site to key target audiences. Bridge Builder Strategies has aided in launching the consumer version of their product, increase caregivers’ knowledge/familiarity of using evidence-based caregiving programs, and secured multiple high-profile investors to sustain and increase awareness of the programs.
