World alzheimer report 2016: Improving healthcare for people living with dementia - coverage, quality and costs now and in the future

World alzheimer report 2016: Improving healthcare for people living with dementia - coverage, quality and costs now and in the future This report reviews research evidence on the elements of healthcare for people with dementia, and, using economic modelling, suggests how it should be improved and made more efficient. It argues that current dementia healthcare services are over-specialised, and that a rebalancing is required with a more prominent role for primary and community care which could increase capacity, limit the increased costs associated with scaling up coverage of care, and, coupled with the introduction of care pathways and case management, improve the coordination and integration of care. Alzheimer's Disease International
