Optimizing the Care of Persons Living with Dementia in the Emergency Department

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Emergency department (ED) care for persons living with dementia (PLWD) involves the identification of dementia or cognitive impairment, ED care which is sensitive to the specific needs of PLWD, effective communication with PLWD, their care partners, and outpatient clinicians who the patient and care-partner know and trust, and care-transitions from the emergency department to other health care settings. The recommendations in this article made based on wide-ranging heterogeneous studies of various interventions which have been studied primarily in single-site studies. Future research should work to incorporate promising findings from interventions such as hospital at home, or ED to home Care Transitions Intervention.
