Population-level outcomes can take years to surface — so how do states know their Multisector Plans for Aging are working in the meantime? Beyond the Plan: How to Measure MPA Impact, a new snapshot from West Health's Mihret Walelgne Menberu and Amy Herr, looks at the progress reports, implementation trackers, and data dashboards states use to capture earlier signs of change. It highlights progress across seven policy domains — from economic security and dementia care to housing and transportation — with examples from California, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, and others, plus state reporting tools you can browse by state. A practical reference for states building or refining their own MPA accountability frameworks.
