DemStepCare: Risikostratifizierte Unterstützung der ambulanten Demenzversorgung – Bewertung aus hausärztlicher Perspektive

Zusammenfassung

Ziel Das Innovationsfondsprojekt DemStepCare zielte darauf, die multiprofessionelle ambulante Versorgung durch Case Management, Risikostratifizierung und Krisenambulanz zu optimieren. Vorgestellt werden die Evaluationsergebnisse aus hausärztlicher Perspektive.

Methodik Zu drei Zeitpunkten erfolgte eine quantitative Befragung der Hausärzt*innen hinsichtlich Akzeptanz, Nutzenbewertung und Demenzsensibilität. Ergänzend wurden qualitative Interviews geführt.

Ergebnisse Es zeigte sich eine hohe Zufriedenheit mit dem Gesamtprojekt. Wahrgenommen wurden Mehrwerte und Entlastungsfaktoren und durch die Kooperation mit dem Case Management eine effektivere und stabilere Demenzversorgung. Die Hausärzt*innen gaben eine gestiegene subjektive Kompetenz bei Diagnostik und Krankheitsmanagement an.

Schlussfolgerung Die Befunde bestätigen aus hausärztlicher Sicht Nutzen und Effektivität von DemStepCare.

Abstract

Objective The innovation fund project DemStepCare aimed to optimize multi-professional care through case management, risk stratification, and crisis outpatient clinic. Here, the evaluation results from the perspective of the general practitioners are presented.

Methods A quantitative survey was carried out at three time points regarding acceptance, benefit assessment and sensitivity to dementia of the general practitioners. In addition, qualitative interviews were conducted.

Results Satisfaction with the overall project was high. Added value and relief factors were perceived and more effective and stable dementia care was achieved through collaboration with case management. Physicians reported increased subjective competence in diagnostics and disease management.

Conclusions The results confirm the benefit and effectiveness of DemStepCare from general practitioner's perspective.
