Triple aim improvement for individuals, services and society in dementia care

Abstract

The DementiaNet collaborative care approach Brief introduction The number of elderly people with cogni-tive problems who are still living at home is likely to increase. As a result, primary healthcare professionals will be increas-ingly required to manage and optimize treatment for dementia patients. This un-derlines the need to improve dementia care within primary care. We developed the DementiaNet collaborative care ap-proach, which includes a gradual reor-ganization of care towards high-quality, network-based dementia care. The de-velopment, implementation, initial expe-riences and study design are described to evaluate the possible merits of this approach.
