Care Management

A computerized Care Management System (CMS) will identify unmet needs of the informal caregiver of PwD and generates suggestions for interventions. Based on these, the treating physician develops an individualized treatment and care plan and assigns specific tasks to the care manager. Upon a home visit in the caregivers' home the care manager evaluates the need for additional tasks. Based on the complete list of tasks, the care manager initiates the implementation of respective actions. Via monthly telephone calls and optional home visits the care manager monitors the status of implementation and actively coordinates the support and care for the informal caregiver recommended intervention
