About

Dementia Care Management (DeCM) is an evidence-based model of care in Germany. It has proven its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. However it has not been implemented into routine care so far.

The aim of this trial is to implement Dementia Care Management into routine care in a selected region in Germany and evaluate the process of implementation as well as the effect of Dementia Care Management on participants.

Recruited in regular routine care n=60 people with cognitive impairment and/ or their cares will receive Dementia Care Management provided by specifically trained and qualified dementia care managers for 6 months.

Data will be assessed and analysed prior to the implementation, immediately after having received the intervention and at a later time point.

The effect of the intervention on person-oriented health care outcomes wil be analysed as well as factors associated with that.
