Improving How People Living With Dementia Are Selected for Care Coordination
Conditions: Dementia

Ages: 65 Years – N/A
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 688
Sponsor: Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Location: United States
Summary
Many people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners may benefit from the assistance of a care coordinator, a member of the medical team who facilitates communication among all the people involved.
However, care coordinators' time is limited, and there is uncertainty about which patients should be selected to receive their help.
This pragmatic clinical trial embedded in an accountable care organization will determine the comparative effectiveness of two approaches for assigning care coordinators to PLWD.
