Although other efforts have been made to set dementia care quality standards, such as those pioneered by\n RAND<\/jats:styled-content>\n in its series\n A<\/jats:styled-content>\n ssessing\n C<\/jats:styled-content>\n are of\n V<\/jats:styled-content>\n ulnerable\n E<\/jats:styled-content>\n lders (\n ACOVE<\/jats:styled-content>\n ), practitioners, healthcare systems, and insurers have not widely embraced implementation.

The\n ACOVE<\/jats:styled-content>\n measures and the measurement set described here apply to individuals whose dementia has already been identified and properly diagnosed. Although similar in concept to\n ACOVE<\/jats:styled-content>\n , the\n DWG<\/jats:styled-content>\n measurement set differs in several important ways; it includes all stages of dementia in a single measure set, calls for the use of functional staging in planning care, prompts the use of validated instruments in patient and caregiver assessment and intervention, highlights the relevance of using palliative care concepts to guide care before the advanced stages of illness, and provides evidence\u2010based support for its recommendations and guidance on the selection of instruments useful in tracking patient\u2010centered outcomes. It also specifies annual reassessment and updating of interventions and care plans for dementia\u2010related problems that affect families and other caregivers as well as individuals with dementia. Here, a brief synopsis of why major reforms in healthcare design and delivery are needed to achieve substantive improvements in the quality of care is first provided, and then the final measures approved for publication, dissemination, and implementation are listed.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jgs.12630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,7]],"date-time":"2014-01-07T11:29:41Z","timestamp":1389094181000},"page":"558-561","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Quality Improvement in Neurology: Dementia Management Quality Measures"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Germaine","family":"Odenheimer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatric Medicine College of Medicine University of Oklahoma Oklahoma City Veterans Affairs Medical Center Oklahoma City Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soo","family":"Borson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences School of Medicine University of Washington Seattle Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy E.","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Albert Einstein College of Medicine Bronx New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca J.","family":"Swain\u2010Eng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Academy of Neurology Minneapolis Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helen H.","family":"Kyomen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School Boston Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Tierney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Medical Association Chicago Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Gitlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Community Public Health Center for Innovative Care in Aging Johns Hopkins University Baltimore Maryland"},{"name":"Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology School of Nursing and Department of Psychiatry School of Medicine Johns Hopkins University Baltimore Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Ann","family":"Forciea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatric Medicine Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Absher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Absher Neurology Greenville South Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Shega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine University of Chicago Chicago Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerry","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatric Medicine Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jalz.2007.03.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jalz.2006.02.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","unstructured":"National Alzheimer's Project Act.Public Law 11\u2013375\u2010Jan 4 2011[on\u2010line].
