We are eternally grateful to the National Advisory Panel (NAP), our funders, individuals at the AARP Public Policy Institute, and to those that provided expert consultation for the 2020 Scorecard report. The NAP was instrumental in providing and evaluating the merits of the data indicators that populate each of the five dimensions. The NAP also helped refine some indicators from the past Scorecard. The framework for assessing LTSS system performance was developed in consultation with the Scorecard National Advisory Panel (NAP). This acknowledgment section can also be found in the 2020 Report Reference Edition.
