Background People with dementia are increasingly living at home, relying on primary care providers for most healthcare needs. Suboptimal collaboration and communication between providers could cause inefficiencies and worse patient outcomes. Innovative strategies are needed to address this growing disease burden and rising healthcare costs.
Background Key Messages Implications for policy makers This study finds that local community-based care networks created under the DementiaNet programme lower both admission risks and hospital care costs for people with dementia, and show such effects are maintained over a long-term period of up to five years. Combined with previously demonstrated improvements in quality of care, the DementiaNet program has great potential to improve dementia care.
