Use of preventive home visits by general practitioners in patients diagnosed with dementia.

CONCLUSIONS: GP's adherence to guidelines for patients identified with dementia leaves room for improvement as a significant part of the patients had not received the annual PHV as recommended in the guidelines. Furthermore, substantial variation between general practices indicates that not all GPs need to improve to the same extent. FUNDING: The study was supported by the Quality Improvement Committee for General Practice in the Region of Southern Denmark, Audit Project Odense and the University of Southern Denmark. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant. PMID: 30511635 [PubMed - in process]
