A Brown-led research team utilized computer modeling to demonstrate that, in comparison to conventional care, four interventions for dementia care resulted in cost savings of up to $13,000, a decrease in nursing home admissions, and an enhancement in the quality of life. Attention is often focuse
A Brown University research team found that four non-drug interventions for dementia care led to cost savings of up to $13,000, reduced nursing home admissions, and improved quality of life compared to conventional care. The researchers recommend that health insurance policies incentivize providers and health systems to implement these cost-effective, non-pharmacological interventions for dementia patients.
“Now that we can show that these effective interventions can also save money, it just makes sense to find ways to make them available to more families,” Jutkowitz said. “These interventions can be used to help people with dementia starting today.” While non-drug interventions are well-studied, Jutkowitz said they haven’t been widely implemented in clinical care centers. He added that there isn’t currently an infrastructure in place to support these methods of care — for example, there are limited mechanisms for providers to be reimbursed for these types of interventions.
In addition to finding that the interventions were cost-effective from a societal perspective, the researchers also found that from a healthcare payer perspective, the interventions involved little to no additional cost, compared to usual care, while increasing patient quality of life.
