Enhancing the ADMIT Me Tool for Care Transitions for Individuals With Alzheimer's Disease
Abstract:
One of the goals of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease is to ensure safe care transitions. To facilitate safe and effective transitions from home to hospital, the ADMIT (Alzheimer's, Dementia, Memory Impaired Transitions) Me tool was developed and three focus groups were conducted with caregivers (n = 6), emergency department nurses (n = 6), and first responders (n = 14) to determine its usefulness and applicability to practice. Feedback was used to enhance the tool to reflect their needs. Each group expressed that the tool would help promote safety in care transitions. Using ADMIT Me, nurses can practice with clear communication and collaboration in care transitions, and provide patient-centered care based on the behaviors and unique needs of the individual with dementia.
