In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Navigated Care for Dementia and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 1,560 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized clinical trial evaluating the benefits of a program that supports model care for persons with dementia and their family caregivers. Subjects were recruited from California, Nebraska and Iowa. Subjects determined to be eligible were consented and randomized into one of two groups. Two thirds of patients were enrolled into Navigated Care that provided them with assistance in meeting important benchmarks in their care, for example completion of legal and financial planning and strategies for minimizing caregiver burden. One third of patients were enrolled to a control group, entitled Survey of Care. Outcomes include quality of life, health care utilization, caregiver burden, satisfaction with care, caregiver depression, and caregiver self-efficacy.

Interventions
Navigated Care emphasizes continuous and personalized care and is based on 3 modules: the Caregiver Module that includes educational interventions and connects families with community resources, the Decision-Making Module that facilitates proactive medical, financial, and safety decisions, and the Medication Module that identifies inappropriate medication usage via pharmacist review. Innovative technology in the form of a "dashboard" functions as a patient care management system used by Care Team Navigators (CTNs).
