Study Summary

This trial will study which approach works best for assigning care coordinators to people living with dementia and their care partners.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people over 65 with dementia who are part of the NewYork Quality Care organization, live at home, and had disjointed outpatient care in the past year. It's not for those in long-term care or nursing homes, or enrolled in home hospice.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing two ways to decide who gets help from a care coordinator: one based on perceived need and another based on usual practices like hospital discharge. The goal is to see which method works better for dementia patients.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-medical interventions (care coordination), there aren't typical medication side effects. However, participants may experience changes in their healthcare management.

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Number of emergency department visits or hospital admissions

Secondary outcome measures

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The intervention group will assign care coordinators to PLWD based on perceived need for assistance with care coordination. Perceived need will be measured through a proxy's responses to a previously validated telephone survey on perceptions of care coordination.

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Usual care assigns patients to care coordinators in response to a discharge from a hospital or a direct referral from a physician.
