AnnotationDementia Care Mapping (DCM) is an observational tool designed to examine the quality of life being given to people with dementia in formal care settings, by looking at care from the perspective of the person with dementia. Inter-rater reliability is a measure of how similar maps are between two mappers observing the same group of people at the same time. The Bradford Dementia Group is working on a new format for comparing DCM data in a slightly different way that enables discrepancies to be more easily identified, and this Research Focus outlines how this is being achieved.
