Extending Integration: Interventions Supporting Communication and Collaboration Between Patients with Neurological Diseases, Their Informal Caregivers and Healthcare Staff - a Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Addressing challenges due to demographic changes and the quest for improved value in healthcare requires an extended integrated approach to care that fosters collaboration between all stakeholders, especially within collaboration supporting cognitively impaired patients. The aim is to review existing studies on interventions to improve communication and collaboration between such patients, their caregivers and healthcare staff.

Methods

Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched electronic databases Medline (OVID), CINAHL (Ebsco), and Web of Science (Clarivate) for peer-reviewed literature [2010-2020] focusing on intervention studies. Papers were excluded if not assessing the impact of interventions or only presenting a study protocol.
