Dementia is a chronic disease that requires both medical and social services to provide high quality of care and prevent complications. As a result of time constraints in practice, lack of systems-based approaches, and poor integration of community-based organizations (CBOs), the quality of care for dementia is poor compared to other diseases that affect older persons. The UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care (UCLA ADC) program partners with CBOs to provide comprehensive, coordinated, patient-centered care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The goals of the program are to maximize patient function, independence and dignity, minimize caregiver strain and burnout and reduce unnecessary costs. The UCLA ADC program consists of five key components: patient recruitment and a dementia registry, structured needs assessments of patients in the registry and their caregivers, creation and implementation of individualized dementia care plans based on needs assessments and input from the primary care physicians, monitoring and revising care plans, as needed, and access 24/7, 365 days a year for assistance and advice. The program uses a co-management model with a nurse practitioner Dementia Care Manager working with primary care physicians and CBOs. Based on the first 150 patients served, the most common recommendations in the initial care plans were referrals to support groups (73%), Alzheimer’s Association Safe Return (73%), caregiver training (45%), and medication adjustment (41%). The program will be evaluated on its ability to achieve the triple aim of better care for individuals, better health for populations, and lower costs.
