Interprofessional Dementia Care

"A computerized Information and Care Management System (IMS) will identify unmet nursing, medical, psychosocial and social needs of the PwD and its informal caregiver. Based on this data, the IMS generates suggestions for interventions: The DCM in cooperation with the general practitioner (GP) develops an individual treatment and care plan that is tailored to the needs of the PwD and its caregiver. The DCM will initiate the implementation of respective actions and monitor the status of implementation. Therefore, the DCMs are supposed to take on activities that were previously usually performed by doctors (redistribution of tasks between physicians and qualified nurses in primary care)."
