Dementia Capability - Issue brief and toolkit resourceshttp://aoa.gov/AoARoot/AoA_Programs/HPW/Alz_Grants/index.aspx
In model dementia-capable systems, programs are tailored to the unique needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias (AD), and their caregivers. Such considerations include: • Information & assistance services have a method to identify people with
possible AD & give a recommendation for physician follow-up. • Options counseling staff communicate effectively with persons with dementia
and their family caregivers and know what services this population is likely to seek.
• Publicly and privately financed services are capable of meeting the unique needs of persons with dementia and their caregivers.
• Workers have appropriate training in identifying possible AD, the symptoms of AD, the likely illness trajectory, and services needed.
• Quality assurance systems measure how effectively LTSS providers & systems serve persons with dementia and their family caregivers. 27

Why is Education Needed?
• As many as half of people satisfying diagnostic criteria for dementia have never received a diagnosis.

Non-Diagnosis Causes Delays In
• Evaluation/treatment of reversible or treatable causes
• Management of symptoms with medication or other interventions
• Potential inclusion in Alzheimer clinical trials• Management of possible behavioral symptoms• Polypharmacy management• Reduction of anxiety• Reduction of caregiver burden

Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Patient & Family Engagement Campaign (PFEC)
• Five Quality Improvement Organization campaign projects target improvement of care for “Individuals Diagnosed with Dementia”
• Generate processes designed to increase awareness and engagement by providing decisive tools, so patients and families make better decisions related to health care services they receive;
• Enable patients, their families, care givers and the public in general to interact among themselves and obtain information related to health care services they receive related to Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.
• The QIOs have established their tactics for achieving success • Concluding in July, 2014

Improvement Opportunities Identified
• Beneficiaries are receptive to using technology and knowledge to actively engage in their healthcare;
• For some of the target audience the QIOs have learned that Hispanic communities have providers of care but many have English as a second language and are located in a high crime area;
• Identified that many have limited knowledge of dementia-care best practices, resources; and that many may be unaware, due to recent diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, of evidence-based practices for quality of life practices;
• Learned that dementia-care resources exist, but beneficiaries have limited understanding of how helpful these resource can be to caregivers;
• Recognized that beneficiaries and families require education regarding the need, and ability, of being responsible for their healthcare decisions;
• Acknowledged that care transitions and continuity need to be better coordinated between hospitals and communities.
