Summary
Most persons living with dementia (PlwD) have multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Managing MCC typically involves adhering to clinical practice guidelines for single diseases. This approach often results in burdensome care that usually does not reflect what matters most to patients. To address the challenges of caring for patients with MCC, Patient Priorities Care (PPC) was developed - a process that aligns treatment recommendations with patient priorities rather than single-disease guidelines, to improve care. Successful completion of this pragmatic pilot project will help determine how to best embedded PPC in a Healthcare system that serves a large Hispanic population. The investigators will determine if the benefits previously reported with the use of PPC hold in Hispanics with dementia.
