ABSTRACTBackground:Worldwide trends of increasing dementia prevalence, have put economic and workforce pressures to shifting care for persons with dementia from residential care to home care.Methods:We reviewed the effects of the four dominant models of home care delivery on outcomes for community-dwelling persons with dementia. These models are: case management, integrated care, consumer directed care, and restorative care. This narrative review describes benefits and possible drawbacks for persons with dementia outcomes and elements that comprise successful programs.Results:Case management for persons with dementia may increase use of community-based services and delay nursing home admission. Integrated care is associated with greater client satisfaction, increased use of community based services, and reduced hospital days however the clinical impacts on persons with dementia and their carers are not known. Consumer directed care increases satisfaction with care and service usage, but had little effect on clinical outcomes. Restorative models of home care have been shown to improve function and quality of life however these trials have excluded persons with dementia, with the exception of a pilot study.Conclusions:There has been a little research into models of home care for people with dementia, and no head-to-head comparison of the different models. Research to inform evidence-based policy and service delivery for people with dementia needs to evaluate both the impact of different models on outcomes, and investigate how to best deliver these models to maximize outcomes.

Brief Summary The addition of home monitoring to an integrated care model in patients with advanced chronic heart/lung diseases decreases mortality, hospital and emergency admissions, improves functional status, HRQoL, and is cost-effective. Background Telemonitoring is a promising implement for medicine, but its efficacy is unknown in patients with advanced heart and lung failure (AHLF). Objective To determine the efficacy of a telemonitoring system added to coordinated clinical care in patients with AHLF. Design Randomized phase 3 multicenter clinical trial with parallel groups in adult patients. Participants Five spanish centers including patients with AHLF at discharge or in out-patient clinics. Intervention Patients were randomly assigned to receive a remote bio-parameters telemonitoring system (TELECARE) or best usual care (UCARE). TELECARE patients were provided with devices that collected symptoms and bio-parameters, and transferred them synchronously to a call-center, with a real-time health-care response. Main Measures Primary end point was the need of admissions/emergency room visits at 45, 90, 180 days. Secondary end points included health care requirements, mortality, functional assessment, health related quality of life (HRQoL), perceived satisfaction, and cost-efficacy. Results 510 patients were included (54.5% women, median age 76.5 years; 63.1% suffered heart failure, 13.9% lung failure, and 22.9% both conditions). Clinical and functional features were comparable in both arms. TELECARE globally needed less admissions with respect UCARE after 45 days of inclusion (35.4% vs. 46.9%, p < 0.05). This tendency was maintained in the subgroups of patients with multimorbidity (34.2% vs. 46.9%, p < 0.05), intermediate risk of mortality (36.5% vs. 51.1%, p < 0.05), and those included after hospital discharge (34.9% vs. 50.5%, p < 0.01). HRQoL significantly improved (TELECARE/UCARE EuroQol baseline of 56.2 ± 18.2/55.1 ± 19.7, p = 0.054, and 64 ± 19.9/56.3 ± 21.6; p < 0.01 at the end), and perceived satisfaction was also higher (6.77 ± 0.52 vs. 6.62 ± 0.81, p < 0.001; highest possible score = 7). A trend to mortality decrease was also observed (12.9% vs. 19.3%, p = 0.13). TELECARE was cost-efficacious (TELECARE/UCARE QALY 3.94 Euros/0.81Euros). Conclusions The addition of a telemonitoring system to an integrated care model in patients with AHLF decreases hospital and emergency admissions, improves functional status as well as HRQoL, and is cost-efficacious.

The rapid increase in the ageing population and health conditions are imposing a higher challenge to the health care system that requires multidisciplinary teamwork utilizing coordinated care approach. This study examined the effects of integrated care model on quality of care received by older hospitalized patients in West Bank. A quantitative interrupted time series design (pretest and posttest multiple time series, quasi-experiment design) was used. The study examined the effects of integrated care model on admitted older patients (n=32) in the West Bank measuring ten dimensions of quality of care and four health indicators. There was a significant improvement in the dimensions of quality of care: dimensions: nurses’ communications with patients, physicians’ communications with patients, staff response to patients’ needs, pain management, explanations on medications, amount of information given on discharge plan, patients' area cleanliness, patients' area quietness, rating of the hospital, and willingness to recommend the hospital. Incidence of falls and incidence of pressure ulcer improved after implementing the model, while readmission rate and average length of stay did not improve. This study contributed to the limited body of knowledge related to the effect of integrated care model on hospitalized older patients’ quality of care in Palestine/ West Bank. Integrated care has the potential to improve care outcomes among hospitalized older patients.
