Lessons Learned From the Implementation of a Pragmatic Trial Evaluating Non‐Pharmacological Approaches to Dementia Care in US Nursing Homes

Successful completion of pragmatic trials in US nursing homes requires active engagement of community partners throughout the research process. The emergent lessons learned and recommendations highlight the complex nature of this care setting, the need to be proactive in implementation planning, and the pivotal role of community partners. Moving forward, there is a need for greater emphasis on systematically sharing experiences more broadly to advance the science of pragmatic trials in US nursing homes.
