Abstract
A New Geriatric Mental Health Outreach Model of Care for Residents of Long Term Care Facilities; Results of a Continuous Quality Initiative
Atul Sunny Luthra, Hava Starkman and Nancy Rust
Various models of delivery of mental health care services exist to address Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in long term care facilities (LTCF). Outcome data on evaluation of these services is rather limited. A new model of delivery of mental health care services to address BPSD in LTCF was developed based upon results from the outcome evaluation of Comprehensive Geriatric (Medicine) Assessment Teams. The model has been labelled Contemporaneous Model. Results of a Continuous Quality Initiative on the operations of this model are being presented.
