The document discusses the role of Admiral Nursing within an acute hospital setting to support caregivers, friends, and family of those living with dementia. Approximately 850,000 people in the UK currently live with dementia, and around a quarter of early-onset cases are first identified in hospital emergency departments. Admiral Nurses aim to provide a holistic approach and enable well-being for dementia patients and their loved ones during hospitalization through various programs and initiatives. This innovative nursing role helps prevent crises, promotes positive experiences, and supports staff while also developing opportunities to improve health and wellness.

And Finally……….

The Commissioner for Older People in Wales conducted a review of the experiences of older people in hospitals in Wales. The review found inconsistencies in care, with some patients feeling treated with dignity while others felt like numbers. The Commissioner made 12 recommendations to improve leadership, dementia care, continence needs, communication, discharges, volunteers, staffing, environments, and use of patient feedback. Health boards and the Welsh government responded and are monitoring progress on implementing changes to improve hospital care for older patients.

The document summarizes a palliative and end of life care service called Coordinated, Safe and Integrated (CoSI) care. CoSI aims to [1] reduce hospital admissions and support patient choice for place of care and death, [2] provide enhanced coordination of care across partner organizations for patients with 6-8 weeks to live, and [3] lower costs compared to usual care. Since launching in 2014, CoSI has supported over 500 patients, with 76% receiving care within 48 hours and 100% of patients who died achieving their preferred place of death at home. Evaluation found acute care costs were £1,700 on average for CoSI patients versus £3,812 for others in their last 3 months

This document discusses dementia care and the improvements made at one hospital. It summarizes that: the number of people with dementia is increasing significantly; many hospital patients have dementia but it often goes unrecognized; and the hospital implemented several initiatives to improve dementia care, including a specialized dementia unit, training, and activities to stimulate patients. These changes have led to reductions in falls, pressure ulcers, length of stay, and complaints, as well as improved staff satisfaction and outcomes for patients.

The document discusses diagnosis and post-diagnostic support for dementia in Scotland. It notes that only 42% of people are diagnosed at the early, mild stage, and outlines Scotland's national strategy to promote earlier diagnosis and ensure all those diagnosed receive 12 months of coordinated, post-diagnostic support from a named link worker. This support is guided by a five pillar model and aims to provide holistic, person-centered care that upholds the personhood of those living with dementia and recognizes the unique experiences of caregivers.

NHS Improving Quality

This document discusses integrated care for people with dementia across different healthcare settings and proposes a gold standard for integrated dementia care. It finds that hospitals have many patients with dementia yet poor quality care, care homes have most residents with dementia but limited support from GPs, and home care has restricted access and understaffing. The gold standard proposed includes key workers, workforce training, community engagement, and information/advice. New models of integrated care are being tested in vanguard sites and cities like Greater Manchester are developing plans to better coordinate health and social care by 2020.

The document describes Four Seasons Health Care's Dementia Care Framework. The framework was developed using best practices and standards to deliver individualized care based on each resident's unique experience. It includes tools for gathering feedback from residents and families, assessing residents' needs, and training staff on dementia awareness, communication, activities and managing distressed reactions. The goal is for staff to understand each resident as an individual and provide high quality care centered around their preferences in order to improve quality of life.

The document describes the establishment of a Community of Practice (CoP) between Dementia UK and Hospice UK to improve end of life care for those with dementia. Over 700,000 people in England live with dementia, yet they often receive poor end of life care and are more likely to die in hospitals than hospices. The inaugural CoP meeting used a prioritization technique to identify key issues: communication, pain management, care across settings, educating staff, and influencing local policy. Since then, the CoP has grown to 180 members, published articles, and plans further knowledge sharing activities and evaluation to improve dementia end of life care.

Dr. Maria Liakata and her team are developing a tablet application to collect longitudinal conversation and writing data between people with dementia and their caregivers. By analyzing patterns of language change over time in areas like vocabulary, syntax and coherence, they aim to develop computational techniques for effective, low-cost dementia diagnosis and monitoring without intrusive medical tests. The application will use images from the past to facilitate dialogue and written responses, engaging people living with dementia while generating data to study language alterations linked to the condition.

Patient Opinion

This document discusses how patient feedback can lead to positive change in healthcare organizations. It advocates that organizations should: 1) Make it easy and safe for patients to provide honest feedback; 2) Share patient stories and feedback openly within the organization so that staff at all levels are aware of how their care is perceived; 3) Demonstrate how patient feedback results in changes to policies, practices, culture and improved patient experiences. When changes are made, organizations should update patients on the actions taken.

Dementia Friendly surgeries summary report

Health Innovation Wessex

The dementia friendly primary care ‘iSPACE’ project was introduced into GP practices across Wessex as an innovative, cost-effective solution to enhance services in primary care for people with dementia. During the past three years (2014-17), the project team publicised this project throughout the Wessex region, and at the time of writing this report, 50% have completed the steps to become dementia friendly: - Over 150 surgeries are dementia friendly - Nearly 3,000 (2,969) surgery staff have received dementia training at the tier one (awareness level) stage, and a further 244 people have received talks about dementia and the project - This means the project is impacting over 15,000 people living with dementia across surgeries, which are collectively caring for over 1.4 million people - Dorset, NE Hants and West Hants CCG are aiming at 100% dementia friendly surgery status – currently they stand at 56%, 70% and 46% respectively Broadly speaking, the iSPACE work has led to: • Fewer A&E admissions for patients with dementia • More patients with personalised care plans • Fewer appointments needed with GPs, which has freed-up appointments for other patients This report summarises the project, what it found, how iSPACE improves lives for patients and their carer.s

Inspiring "Gifts of Gratitude" in Healthcare

Blackbaud

The Gifts of Gratitude Program allows grateful patients and their families to support Baystate Health by making donations to honor the caregivers who made a positive impact on their care. These unrestricted gifts support programs, services, education, patient care costs, and new equipment. The program identifies appropriate patients, designs materials, educates staff, recognizes honored caregivers, and stewards donors to strengthen relationships between the health system and those it serves.

This document outlines the Spotlight Project led by Viki Baker, Director of the Learning Disability Service. The project aims to shed light on medication issues for clients with learning disabilities by listening to clients' and caregivers' experiences, improving information sharing about medication histories, and analyzing usage of PRN (as-needed) medication before, during, and after admission. The goal is to better understand medication at the Selden Centre, reduce overall PRN usage, involve clients and caregivers more in medication decisions, and identify ways to improve practices around medication issues.

Reasonable Expectations: The New Approach to Grateful Patients

This document discusses a fund that supports innovative projects to improve transitions for young people with life-limiting conditions from pediatric to adult services. In the first round of funding, projects were supported that created regular social and skills-building activities for young adults at a hospice. A project was also funded to provide mentor support for skills development and volunteering placements for young people. The second round of funding supported additional projects, including expanding peer support groups, developing a transition coordination role, testing models for multidisciplinary support during healthcare transitions, and resources to help young people and families advocate for their needs during transition.
