| Annotation | This article reports on a multi-phase knowledge-to-practice exchange activity undertaken by a dementia care team in Canada to describe the process undertaken to improve care and support for older adults living with dementia. In particular it focuses on the team's early development and the decision making process (including early focus on family physicians) and the eventual creation of a Dementia Pocket Card tool for knowledge exchange. The tool is designed to support health professionals and families with dementia case-finding, assessment, diagnosis and appropriate service provision. It is designed for the practice setting with the Registered Nurses of Ontario Best Practice Guide (RNAO-BPG) algorithm on one side and the Deterioration Cognitive Observée (DECO) case finding tool on the other. The advantages of the card are that it contains two evidence-based approaches, is quick to use, and is easily accessibly as the card itself or electronically. (JL). |
