WHAT IS AN ICP? Integrate Care Pathway
Why are ICP’s Important in dementia care? FRAGMENTED COMPLEX CO-OPERATION
The evidence base Good evidence of increased efficiency with ICP’s for dementia (Lowe 1998, Atwal and Caldwell 2002, Gunstone and Robinson 2006, Tucker 2010, Ham, Dixon and Chantler 2011, Hean, Nojeed and Warr 2011) Organisational, professional and individual Bridge Gaps Decreasing variation in practice Increasing inter-professional commitment to tailored support
Implications for Ireland… Lots of good practice to learn from Need for case management One size fits all won’t fit into the Irish landscape Need to develop service user voice Need to embed the approach within local services Measurement of baseline data and quality indicators
