A case study on the application evaluation of integrative medical service model for the improvement of quality of life for dementia patients and caregivers.

Patients with dementia need a program that would help them maintain cognitive function, and caregivers need a program that would improve their QoL by reducing the caregiving burden. This study is unique because the developed program is performed after modification based on feedback from the previous session. Accordingly, the patient and caregiver can check which program is the most satisfactory and helpful in improving their QoL. We expect that this study can modify the integrative medical service model to the optimized patient-based model. This study can also be used as basic data for a clinical pathway development study that applies the modified model to medical institutes.
