Introduction: Care integration in primary elderly care is suboptimal. Validated instruments are needed to enable the implementation of integrated primary care. We aimed to assess construct validity of the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care measurement tool (RMIC-MT) for healthcare professionals working in an integrated primary elderly care setting in the Netherlands. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, the RMIC-MT, a 36-item questionnaire covering all domains of the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC), was sent out to local networks of primary elderly care professionals. Confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation was used for the validation of the factor structure the RMIC-MT. Model fit was assessed by the chi-square test and fit indices. Results: The RMIC-MT was completed by 323 professionals, primarily general practitioners, community nurses, practice nurses, and case managers. Confirmatory factor analysis and corresponding fit indices showed moderate to good fit, thereby confirming a nine factor model with a total of 36 items. Conclusions: The RMIC-MT is promising for the primary elderly care setting in the Netherlands. It can be used for evaluating integrated care initiatives in a primary care setting, thereby contributing to implementation of integrated primary elderly care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: As the number of patients with complex healthcare needs grows, inter-professional collaboration between primary care professionals must be constantly optimized. General practitioners (GPs) and community nurses (CNs) are key professions in primary care; however, poor GP-CN communication is common, and research into the factors influencing its quality is limited.Objective: To explore patient-related GP-CN communication and facilitating and hindering factors, and to identify strategies to enhance this communication.Method: A qualitative focus group design was used to identify the facilitating and hindering factors and strategies for improvement. In a Dutch primary care setting, 6 mono-professional focus group interviews (3 meetings of 13 GPs; 3 meetings of 18 CNs) were organized between June 2015 and April 2016, recorded and transcribed verbatim. Two independent researchers performed the coding of these interviews, identifying their categories and themes.Results: Results show that, despite the regular contact between GPs and CNs, communication was generally perceived as poor in effectiveness and efficiency by both professions. Mutual trust was considered the most important facilitating factor for effective communication. Profession-specific factors (e.g. differences in responsibility and profession-specific language) and organizational factors (e.g. lack of shared care plans, no in-person communication, lack of time) may be of influence on communication. Participants' suggestions for improvement included organizing well-structured and reimbursed team meetings and facilitating face-to-face contact.Conclusion: GP-CN patient-related communication benefits most from trusting inter-personal relationships. Inter-professional training programmes should address both professional and organizational factors and should be evaluated for their effect on quality of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Introduction: This study aimed to provide insight into the merits of DementiaNet, a network-based primary care innovation for community-dwelling dementia patients. Methods: Longitudinal mixed methods multiple case study including 13 networks of primary care professionals as cases. Data collection comprised continuously-kept logs; yearly network maturity score (range 0–24), yearly quality of care assessment (quality indicators, 0–100), and in-depth interviews. Results: Networks consisted of median nine professionals (range 5–22) covering medical, care and welfare disciplines. Their follow-up was 1–2 years. Average yearly increase was 2.03 (95%-CI:1.20–2.96) on network maturity and 8.45 (95%-CI:2.80–14.69) on quality indicator score. High primary care practice involvement and strong leadership proved essential in the transition towards more mature networks with better quality of care. Discussion: Progress towards more mature networks favored quality of care improvements. DementiaNet appeared to be effective to realize transition towards network-based care, enhance multidisciplinary collaboration, and improve quality of dementia care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Although frail older people can be more reluctant to become involved in clinical decision making, they do want professionals to take their concerns and wishes into account. Discussing goals can help professionals to achieve this. Objective: To describe the development of a two‐step method for discussing goals with frail older people in primary care and professionals' first experiences with it. Methods: The method consisted of (i) an open‐ended question: If there is one thing we can do for you to improve your situation, what would you like? if necessary, followed by (ii) a bubble diagram with goal subject categories. We reviewed the goals elaborated with the method and surveyed professionals' (primary care nurses and social workers) experiences, using questions concerning time investment, reasons for not formulating goals, and perceived value of the method. Results: One hundred and thirty‐seven community‐dwelling frail older people described 173 goals. These most frequently concerned mobility (n = 43; 24.9%), well‐being (n = 52; 30.1%) and social context (n = 57; 32.9%). Professionals (n = 18) were generally positive about the method, as it improved their knowledge about what the frail older person valued. Not all frail older people formulated goals; reasons for this included being perfectly comfortable, not being used to discussing goals or cognitive problems limiting their ability to formulate goals. Conclusions: This two‐step method for discussing goals can assist professionals in gaining insight into what a frail older person values. This can guide professionals and frail older people in choosing the most appropriate treatment option, thus increasing frail older people's involvement in decision making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Rearrangements are needed in primary care because of aging populations, the increased prevalence of dementia and increasing costs of health care. With DementiaNet, we aim to enhance primary care via integrated network-based care. We focus on structural collaboration from healthcare professionals from medical, care and social domains, and increased dementia expertise. Here, we describe our evaluation study on the DementiaNet innovation to provide insight in the merits and drawbacks of the DementiaNet innovation. Methods: The evaluation study is a longitudinal, mixed methods, multiple case study. The study population consists of two levels: (i) local DementiaNet networks of primary care professionals, and (ii) dyads of dementia patients and their informal caregivers who receive care from DementiaNet networks. At the start of participation and after 12 and 24 months, quantitative data is collected in each network on the maturity of the network, quality of care indicators, and outcomes reported by informal caregivers. Additionally, qualitative data is collected via in-depth interviews with professionals in the networks and dyads of patients and informal caregivers which provide insight in experiences and opinions regarding effects of the DementiaNet approach and the mechanism through which changes in quantitative outcomes are effectuated. Results: This study is currently ongoing with 17 networks included. Preliminary results of the first five networks show stable or improved quality of care and mostly positive experience with the DementiaNet approach. Analysis of quantitative data at 12 months (n=12) and at 24 months (n=5) will show time trends of these networks regarding their quality of care scores and association with informal caregiver-reported outcomes. Additionally, qualitative results from the interviews will be available. Discussion: This study will show whether the DementiaNet innovation leads to improved quality of dementia care and if this is associated with informal caregiver-reported outcomes, through an innovative study design that is designed to capture the complexity. Furthermore, it will provide insight in how this approach is perceived by primary care professionals. This evaluation study adds to the evidence-base of integrated health care, taken from a complex systems perspective. Conclusion: To conclude, this evaluation study will provide insight in the merits and drawbacks, facilitators and barriers, and improvement opportunities of the DementiaNet approach for integrated dementia care.
