Dementia care in acute hospitals: A framework for practice development and theory-based evaluation.

The framework describes necessary activities within four main bundles of measures: "developing structures and processes," "developing competences and attitudes," "building relationships" and "ensuring a social environment and adequate stimulation." The overarching outcome is a person-centred hospital culture, manifesting itself on different levels. The framework illustrates the necessity of an organization-wide person-centred culture for achieving positive outcomes for people with dementia, their relatives and health professionals.
