Communication Intervention for Dementia (PICSI-H Trial)
PICSI-H Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether or not the Jumpstart intervention can improve patient-centered outcomes for those with chronic illness. The study will specifically look at Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, but will also include other common chronic illnesses. The trial will assess the efficacy of the intervention by measuring quality of care, intensity of care outcomes, and patient- and family-reported outcomes. There will also be a mixed-methods evaluation of the implementation of the intervention to explore barriers and facilitators to future implementation and dissemination.
