This fact sheet summarizes the results of a pilot program in RAND Health's Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders-2 project. The program results indicate that quality indicators for dementia care are improved when primary care practices are coupled with links to local Alzheimer's Association chapters.
The fact sheet is based on Reuben DB, Roth CP, Frank JC, Hirsch SH , Katz D, McCreath H, Younger J, Murawski M, Edgerly E, Maher J, Maslow K, and Wenger NS , “Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders—Alzheimer’s Disease: A Pilot Study of a Practice Redesign Intervention to Improve the Quality of Dementia Care,” Journal of the American Geriatric Society, Vol. 58, No. 2,
