The World Alzheimer Report 2016, Improving healthcare for people living with dementia: Coverage, quality and costs now and in the future, has been published by Alzheimer's Disease International. The authors argue that healthcare for people with dementia should be continuous, holistic and integrated. Current services are over-specialised, and there needs to be a more prominent role for primary and community care.
Four main themes emerged from reviews conducted: the need for a systemisation of care processes, better management of the complexity of multimorbidities, more research, and an acknowledgement of the costs offset by efficiencies.
