Abstract
Over the last two decades, hospital systems have increasingly come to rely on telemedicine to provide dementia care to rural communities in the United States. These communities are generally underserved regions marked by remoteness, unmet need, and a lack of ready access to medical services. In these rural areas, where risk of dementia is high and dementia care is often either limited, or lacking completely, telemedicine—remote care coordinated by multidisciplinary teams and enabled through digital monitoring and video conferencing—can bridge gaps in access to timely evaluation and treatment of dementia symptoms. It is often presumed that in-home telemedicine is the most suitable form of virtual care for people living with dementia. Accordingly, several studies have sought to ascertain the feasibility and effectiveness of remote in-home dementia care in rural settings, while questions of how rural patients and caregivers use, negotiate, and experience in-clinic virtual care have gone largely unexplored. This qualitative study sought to evaluate a practice-based virtual memory clinic for patient satisfaction and caregiver burden. The clinic provided patients with an assessment from a geriatrician, access to a dementia navigator/social worker, and follow-up care. A burgeoning literature on dementia-related telehealth in the United States has found virtual care to be a technologically viable and broadly accepted modality for the treatment and diagnosis of people living with dementia.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
