Rapid Dissemination of Evidence-Based Comprehensive Dementia Care Models
Grant Summary
The Education Development Center
will coordinate with the developers of six evidence-based comprehensive dementia care programs to rapidly respond to increasing demands for dementia services and a new payment model launched by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center. The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model was announced by CMS in 2023 to test alternative ways for Medicare to pay for comprehensive dementia care that includes support for family caregivers. This grant will bring together the developers of established comprehensive dementia care programs to define dissemination strategies, establish standards and tools, and conduct training to accelerate the adoption of evidence-based programs under the new GUIDE payment model. The collaborating evidence-based programs include: the Benjamin Rose Institute Care Consultation (BRI-CC)TM, Care Ecosystem, Eskenazi Healthy Aging Brain Center (HABC 3.0), Integrated Memory Care (IMC), Maximizing Independence (MIND) at Home and the UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care (ADC) Program.
