Description

For patients with HD and dementia, case management is a widely used intervention for organizing and coordinating care at the level of the individual. The goal is to provide long-term care in the community as an alternative to early admission to a care home or hospital. The aim of this study was to gain insight in experiences of ambulatory HD patients with the care, guidance, and support provided by a case manager with a HD specialty (CMHD). The findings of this explorative study from a patient's perspective add to the body of knowledge and demonstrate that patients highly appreciate and value the role and support of the CMHD.
