"Det gäller att få med alla på tåget" : En studie av implementeringen av ett kvalitetsregister för personer med demenssjukdom

Sammanfattning: Due to deficiency in dementia care, the government has commissioned the National Board of Health and Welfare to develop national guidelines for health care services to people with dementia and support for their relatives. It has been allocated stimulus funds that may be applied for to work on improvements in dementia care. In August 2010 these guidelines formed the basis for a decision made that collaboration would take place between the county and the municipalities regarding dementia care in Halland, named Anna's path. The aim of this study is to investigate, analyse and describe how our respondents in the project Anna’s path are planning and preparing for the implementation of the registry of quality BPSD - Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia. Another aim is to investigate how the quality registry will promote dementia care and what possible difficulties and obstacles that may be identified during the implementation process. The method is, in social work, a qualitative study. The result showed that respondents from the project Anna’s path felt that it is important for care staff to see the need of registry of quality, otherwise it tended to fail. Time, information and key staff devotion were, according to the respondents, crucial for the result of the implementation. Our respondents were positive about the registry of quality and that it will be important for future dementia care.
