Ensuring the Success of Interprofessional Teams: Key Lessons Learned in Memory Clinics
Abstract
RÉSUMÉ: Cliniques de mémoire en soins de santé primaires suscitent un intérêt croissant, car elles offrent la possibilité d’améliorer le diagnostic et le traitement de la démence. En Ontario, plus de 30 établissements de soins primaires ont participé à un programme de formation visant à aider les participants à établir une clinique de mémoire indépendante dans leur milieu de pratique. Cet article présente les principales leçons acquises dans la mise en oeuvre de ces cliniques sur la base d’une étude qui a utilisé une méthodologie d’entrevue avec les membres des équipes de cliniques de mémoire et a identifié les facteurs favorables, les défis et les recommandations pour la soutenabilité. L’accès à la formation qui facilite le transfert des connaissances et soutient les changements dans la pratique, la collaboration interprofessionnelle, et le soutien de l’infrastructure en cours était d’une importance capitale. Des suggestions pour la mise en place de cliniques et de renforcement des capacités continues ont été identifiés. Les leçons apprises sont applicables à la mise en oeuvre d’autres modèles de prise en charge des maladies chroniques dont le but est la gestion des soins de santé primaires de maladies chroniques complexes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
