abstract = {Memory clinics in Germany are facing major challenges due
to increasing numbers of patients and the first available
disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
Capacities for counselling, biomarker-based diagnostics,
drug administration and follow-up examinations must be
achieved, which creates the need for modified workflows.
Value-based healthcare (VBHC) aims at optimizing the value
for patients (outcome in relation to costs) and can serve as
a framework for a patient-oriented increase in efficacy.This
project applied approaches of VBHC to analyze and improve
the diagnostic processes in our memory clinic in order to
achieve a better value for patients and care partners with a
more efficient use of existing resources.In a first survey
among memory clinic patients and relatives the essential
aspects in relation to VBHC were collated and based on the
results the existing workflow processes were modified. These
modifications were evaluated by a second survey and analysis
particularly of process-oriented aspects.The first survey
revealed a general satisfaction with the presentation in the
memory clinic. The main point of criticism was the duration
of the diagnostic process. After the modification the
duration and extent of the diagnostics could be reduced. The
second evaluation showed improved patient and care partner
satisfaction. The respondents considered the modified
trajectories to be better and resources were conserved.In
our memory clinic an improvement in the sense of VBHC could
be achieved through an increased satisfaction with the
treatment (outcome) and reduced personnel binding times
(costs). This approach can serve as a model for other memory
clinics for the development of a more efficient and
patient-centered care.},
