The introduction of Canadian dementia practice guidelines and Alzheimer strategies offers a unique context to study which of the organizational and clinician characteristics align with good quality care in primary care practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Methods:\u00a0<\/strong>To evaluate the quality of dementia care, we carried out a retrospective chart review in randomly selected patients with a diagnosis of dementia and who had a visit during a 9-month period in 33 primary care practices. We collected data on indicators that were based on existing Canadian evidence-based recommendations to measure a quality of dementia care score. In addition, four questionnaires were administered: two questionnaires to evaluate the organizational characteristics of the practices (dementia-specific and general organization) and two to evaluate the clinician characteristics (one for family physicians and one for nurses). Primary care practices were stratified into tertiles based on their average quality of dementia care score (low, moderate, high). The differences between the groups organizational and clinician questionnaires scores were analyzed descriptively and visually.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>The mean overall scores for each questionnaire were higher in the high quality of dementia care group. When looking at the breakdown of the overall score into each characteristic, the high-quality group had a higher average score for the dementia-specific organizational characteristics of \u00ab\u00a0access to and coordination with home and community services\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0financial support\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0training\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0coordination and continuity within the practice\u00a0\u00bb, and \u00ab\u00a0caregiver support and involvement\u00a0\u00bb. The characteristic \u00ab\u00a0Leadership\u00a0\u00bb showed a higher average score for the moderate and high-quality groups than the low-quality group. In both clinician questionnaires, the high group scored better in \u00ab\u00a0attitudes towards the Alzheimer&rsquo;s plan\u00a0\u00bb than the other two groups.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/strong>These results suggest that investing in organizational characteristics specifically aimed at dementia care is a promising avenue to improve quality of dementia care in primary care. These results may be useful to enhance the implementation of evidence-based practices and improve the quality of dementia care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"studies-relation":[],"class_list":["post-4990","ccna_publication","type-ccna_publication","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
