Transitions in care of people with dementia: a systematic review of the literature

This systematic review assesses the evidence on the pathways people with dementia take into and through the health and aged care system, and the implications of these transitions for the quality of life of people with dementia and their families and carers. The review focuses on four distinct areas: predictors of care transition, description of care pathways, intervention to modify care pathways, and pathways taken by special population groups such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
