Persons living with dementia (PLWD) are twice as likely to be hospitalized than older adults without cognitive impairment, and those hospitalizations result in higher morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization, including length-of-stay, rehospitalization rate, and overall cost of inpatient care. Learning Objectives: (1) implement programs for dementia identification in the hospital setting; (2) organize and deploy care pathways for acute and post-acute care in PLWD; (3) engage family caregivers in function-focused care to improve outcomes for hospitalized PLWD; and (4) implement training programs for nursing assistants to improve prevention and management of BPSD.
