Care Integration in Primary Dementia Care Networks: A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study

Abstract: Introduction: Currently, care integration for community-dwelling persons with dementia is poor and knowledge on how to effectively facilitate development of integrated dementia care is lacking. The DementiaNet program aims to overcome this with a focus on interprofessional collaboration. The objective of this study is to investigate how care integration in interprofessional primary dementia care networks matures and to identify factors associated with (un)successfully maturation.

“…The tools that were evaluated are used in the network-based setting of DementiaNet (Nieuwboer et al, 2017 ). Within the DementiaNet program, networks of primary care professionals were formed from 2015 onwards aimed at improving the quality of care for people with dementia and their caregivers by improving their networks’ care integration (Oostra et al, 2021 ). These local networks of primary care professionals also care for the same caseload of frail older adults (Nieuwboer et al, 2017 ; Richters et al, 2017 ).…”

The pain was evaluated using visual analog scoring (VAS), which was scored by a walking scale about 10 cm in length, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the most severe pain that was unbearable [ 8 ].…”

“…We did not expect and cannot explain why professionals had difficulties with answering questions about professional coordination as this is obviously part of their daily practice. Previous research shows that professionals focus and improve most on this domain [32] when developing their care integration. Possibly and despite pilot-testing, the terminology or formulation used in the questionnaire to describe this domain may not have matched the vocabulary of the participating professionals.…”
