3 Dementia Friend Community
Increased awareness and understanding of dementia Increased social and cultural engagement for the person with dementia Legal and other measures in place to empower people with dementia to protect their rights Increased capability of health and care services to develop services that respond to the needs of people with dementia Actions to improve the physical environment whether in the home, residential care, hospitals or public places Dementia Friendly Communities: Key Principles, Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), 2016

4 Principles of Dementia Friendly Community
Dementia Friendly Communities: Key Principles, Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), 2016 People Involvement of Persons with Dementia Enhance understanding of public Enhance caring skills of caregivers Organizations Promote and provide timely diagnosis and post diagnostic support by primary health care and appropriate professionals Communities Social Physical Environment Environment Increase awareness Home Reduce stigma Service Facilities PWD engagement Public Facilities Partnerships Cross-sectoral Support Collaborative Approach Collective Commitment

5 District-based Medical and Social Collaborative Model for Dementia Care
10% Diagnostic Rate in HK Education to enhance skills and awareness for service providers Specialists such as Psychiatrist, Geriatricians Early Detection by caregivers, public service staff, NGO staff, etc. 90% Hidden Cases Referral complicated cases or when only necessary Early Diagnosis through detailed assessments by Occupational Therapist/Social Worker of HKADA to facilitate medical diagnosis by well-trained GPs Social Support System Institutionalization only when intensive nursing care needed Early Intervention, specialized day centre for dementia by HKADA with non-drug treatments, advance care planning and caregiver support, drug treatments by GPs

6 Project Sunrise : The 3 pronged Strategy
Early Detection by Family Early Diagnosis by Community Health Care Professionals and Family Doctors Early Intervention and advance Care Planning Inception to Diagnosis < 3 months

12 Interim findings from primary care doctors
The model (actions) of interest PwD receive medical and social care from a close medical-social collaboration between primary care doctors and HKADA HKADA provides training for primary care doctors on dementia diagnosis and management A CDCP collaborates with primary care doctors to provide dementia assessment results and case background information Primary care doctors provide diagnosis and follow-up consultations, and feedback to the CDCP on medication and other management Qualitative interviews with primary care doctors, CDCP, and family caregivers in the programme conducted independently by HKU 1 2

13 Interim findings from Primary care doctors
Initial themes from primary care doctors interviews NGO & resources support welcomed Otherwise difficult to engage PwD in primary care setting More effective and focused consultations with CDCP support (case manager role); shortened consultation time requirement Families of lower socioeconomic status would otherwise opt not to diagnose and treat even when dementia symptoms obvious Financing the practice Longer consultation time for PwD means decreased income for primary care doctors Medical voucher cannot cover consultation and medication costs Optimal patient load (high/medium/low): allowing choice for individual clinicians, some prefer low load 1 3 2

14 Interim findings from Primary care doctors
Initial themes from primary care doctors interviews (cont’d) Training needs and specialist collaboration Specialist support and collaboration valued, especially when diagnosis less clear or complications arise (e.g., mood symptoms) Desired practicum & pedagogy, but noted the need to balance time cost for both trainer and students Need of clear clinical guidelines for decisions e.g. MRI indications Readiness of the society Need to raise further the family members’ awareness and mind set; cases identified in practice remains difficult to engage Focus resources on help-seekers rather than case-finding, while continuing public education 1 3 2

15 Interim findings from Primary care doctors
Preliminary reflections Overall model direction promising Enhancing public-private partnership (PPP) Community dementia medical care network among specialists and primary care doctors, taking into account practice nature (solo, group, hospital) Financing (e.g., medication cost) an important factor in model feasibility Next action Fine-tuning of model design for Kwun Tong 1 5 4 3 2

16 Interim findings from Family Caregivers
Questionnaire survey of project participants (n=30) Overall satisfaction with project components (early detection service, primary care service, day centre): 4 to 4.5 out of 5 Both medical and social care viewed as important “Medication Treatment Important” “Non-pharmacological Treatment Important” “Care Planning Important”

19 Importance and Effects of Primary Care
Balancing tasks between primary and specialist care could increase capacity and reduce costs (2016 ADI Report) Medical care is over-specialized causing delayed diagnosis and low diagnostic rate By task shifting and sharing, increase involvement of primary care staff can unlock capacity for increasing demand Estimated can lower the cost of care up to 40% for each person with dementia Increasing involvement of Primary care services is achievable with specialists’ guidance and support.  Source:

22 Future Roadmap for Dementia Care in Hong Kong

23 Seven-Stage Model for Planning Dementia Services Promulgated by
World Health Organization (WHO) and the Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) Pre-diagnosis Diagnosis Post-diagnostic support Co-ordination & care management Community services Continuing care End-of-life palliative care  Enhance Public Awareness  Understanding of Dementia and related community resources Public Education & Prevention Primary Care (e.g. detection of suspected cases) DH, HA, SWD, NGOs, carers, private doctors Making the diagnosis Primary Care Specialist Care (e.g. SOP service provided by HA) HA, private doctors Provide Information and support to pwds and their family members in facing the disease Primary care (e.g. management of stable patients) Specialist Care Community Support (e.g. cognitive training, carer support services) HA, SWD, NGOs, carers, private doctors  Regular follow up and assess the needs of pwds and their family  provide suitable support and services  Continuous medical and community support  Management of complicated symptoms along disease journey Outreach services Community Support (e.g. cognitive training, carer support services) Carer Training HA (outreach medical services), SWD, NGOs, DH (outreach carer training), carers Medical and community support to manage increased unpredictable and complicated symptoms Acute and sub-acute medical services HA, SWD, NGOs, carers Special form of continuing care when a person with dementia is close to the end of his or her life Palliative care

24 Strengthen the Role of primary care in Dementia care
With necessary training, Primary Care Doctors can play important role in Detecting and diagnosing Early Symptoms Act as gateway to services including community-based and specialist services Strong primary care foundation and network will allow stable cases of dementia to be managed in the community Effective stratification will allow specialists more time to handle complex cases

25 Enlarge the Role at Primary care level
Inadequate expertise and capacity in primary care setting and non-medical sectors in detection and diagnosis Diagnosis Medical Treatment and intervention Proper gate-keeping to enable more effective and efficient use of specialist services Suitable Training to medical and health care professionals

26 Advocate for better Care Pathway for persons with Mild and moderate dementia by mental health expert group Elderly with memory loss and suspected cognitive impairment Early assessment of dementia by primary care professionals (private GPs, Public Family Doctors, Visiting Physicians, Nurse, OTs, etc.) Assessment by relevant specialists in public (referred by primary care) Confirm diagnosis and formulate care plan Tailored-made structured day care/home care/ carer support programs provided by community service units Specialist support for complicated cases Regular medical follow up at primary care setting

27 Capacity Building of care workforce
Advanced GP training in Dementia Care by Institute of Alzheimer’s Education, HKADA 18 hours in-depth training with lecture, real case demonstration and case sharing, which covers: Early clinical diagnosis of dementia – Core clinical features and diagnostic criteria In-depth understanding on non-AD dementia Strategic pharmacological intervention for dementia Neuro-psychological assessments and Collaboration of multi-discipline to facilitate diagnostic process Behavior and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) Mental capacity assessments, Financial planning, legal and ethical issues Skills in disclosure diagnostic result and care planning advice

28 Capacity Building of care workforce
Organized by: Co-developed with: In collaboration with: Certified Dementia Care Planner (CDCP) Course 4 modules with total of 80 training hours, health care and social service professionals can: Be competent in assessment, care planning and management Support family caregivers in the caring journey Guide the families through the advance care planning Co-ordinate community resources for better care in community Module 1 Essentials for understanding dementia Module 2 Getting prepared: pre-diagnostic social cognitive assessment and caregiver needs appraisal Module 3 Care planning and management: counselling and caregiver support Module 4 Advance care management

29 Capacity Building of care workforce
- Certified Dementia Care Planner (CDCP) About 350 health care and social service professionals graduated and certified as CDCP

30 Medical-social collaboration

31 Trend in Medical Service Trend in Social Service
Future Trend in Hong Kong Medical-social collaboration in Dementia Care Trend in Medical Service Phase I: Extend medical services to community centers for the diagnosed cases Phase II: Dementia as one of the Disease Management under Public Private Partnership (PPP) Trend in Social Service Enhance Dementia Services in DECCs and NECs Support pwds to use dementia specific services by Community Care Service Voucher

32 Importance and Effects of Medical and Social Collaboration in Community
Clear Care Pathways with structured coordination to ensure services are both person-centred and efficient (2016 ADI Report) Effective coordination can define roles and responsibilities within the care system, Holistic Case Management supports and monitors integration of care Continuous and sustainable support throughout the care pathways Increased coverage of comprehensive healthcare services is affordable, i.e. approximately 0.5% of total healthcare expenditure by 2030.
