GPS Project Evaluation of the Impact of the Reorganization of Work Into a Family Medicine Group on Pharmacotherapy and Support for the Autonomy of Seniors With Major Neurocognitive Disorders

Major Neurocognitive Disorder

The model of care tested in the GPS project aims to optimize pharmacotherapy for seniors undergoing cognitive assessment or suffering from major neurocognitive disorder (MCND) at home. The goal is to reduce polymedication, inappropriate medications and the treatment burden of seniors and to maintain their cognitive health, quality of life and autonomy. The intervention will include knowledge exchange sessions with nurses, pharmacists, and doctors in FMGs, and increased collaboration between these professionals and home care services teams. Other goal is to increase the satisfaction of the seniors, their families, and the professionals involved in the GPS project.
