Project description:

Czech Republic presently lacks a unified interdisciplinary procedure recommended for the diagnostics of various forms of dementia in Czech Republic; recommendations by different specialized institutions tend to differ.

This project thus follows the line of the strategic document NAPAN and the works of its realization´s team members cooperating in the NAPAN task group “The Recommended Procedures and the Services Network”, which meets regularly in the Ministry of Health(MHCR).Thanks to the composition of the realization´s team there is a direct line between determined intents,the MHCR´s subsequent strategy and its realization. This connection represents a major advantage of the project.

The main goal of the project is to support quality healthcare, improve the passage of a patient through the care system and to ensure the continuity of particular health and social services; the key instrument should be the conception of the interdisciplinary document “Recommended Procedures for the Diagnostics and Treatment of the Alzheimer Disease and other Cognitive Disorders”. Overall significance of the document and the project resides in its “interdisciplinarity” and the effort aimed at reaching a consensus through the individual health-care branches. Thus it is not a document intended for a group of experts, but rather the crucial deed with a great influence on the whole Czech Republic. All subsequent steps determined by the NAPAN Strategic Document will be derived from these Recommended Procedures.

The unique nature of the project lies in the fact that during its two-year realization period it strives not only to create this document, but also to implement it into the wide medical public. Thanks to the interdisciplinary cooperation the Activity 3 of the project aspires to address 5.200 GPs, to ensure the participation of all cooperating specialists in conferences, to create an educational course and to publish the Recommended Procedures in various professional journals.
