Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects and cost-effectiveness of a Diagnostic Observation Center for PsychoGeriatric patients DOC-PG Our main hypothesis is that DOC-PG has added value compared with usual care regarding Health Related Quality of Life HRQoL
Detailed Description:
An integrated multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and managing dementia is generally recommended though rarely investigated In recent years multidisciplinary memory clinics MCs for patients with dementia have been established in many places over the world These services have recently also been criticised for being principally hospital-based for their apparently limited focus that entails only medical diagnostics and pharmacotherapy and for thus diverting resources from community mental health teamsCMHTs On the other hand CMHTs are mainly concerned with the provision and organisation of integrated care and unlike MCs CMHTs generally have limited access to hospital-based diagnostics such as brain-imaging
In April 2002 an outpatient diagnostic facility the Diagnostic Observation Centre for PsychoGeriatric patients DOC-PG was established in Maastricht the Netherlands DOC-PG combines the hospital-based approach of the MC with the care-oriented approach of the regional CMHT and aims to provide the general practitioner GP with elaborate diagnostic and therapeutic advice for patients with cognitive disorders
Comparison DOC-PG is compared with usual care ie the GP took care of the diagnosis or he or she referred the patient to one of the separate regional services eg the Maastricht Memory Clinic MMC geriatric medicine or the department of mental health for the elderly of the mental health community service CMHT
