Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
There is growing need for to provide high quality care for persons living with dementia (PLWD) and provide support for care partners in the primary care setting. The Care Ecosystem model is a telephone-based dementia care program that provides standardized, proactive, personalized, and scalable support and education for care partners. The Care Ecosystem model has demonstrated an improvement in patient quality of life, reduced unnecessary healthcare expenditures, and a decrease in care partner burden and depression. In this pilot the investigators will assess the feasibility of implementing and measuring outcomes of an adapted Care Ecosystem training model for primary care nurse managers serving a diverse panel of PLWD and their care partners in primary care practices participating in the Mass General Brigham healthcare system's Integrated Care Management Program in Boston, MA. The study team will leverage the Mass General Brigham electronic medical record to determine the feasibility of collecting the primary clinical outcome defined as emergency department visits among the PLWD cared for by the primary care practices. The investigative team will also assess the feasibility of implementation, number of contacts between nurse care managers and care partners, and documented advance care planning.
