Objective : This study collects public data related to costs of care for dementia and analyzes costs related to dement ia. Analyze the facilities, staff, and performance of the Cent er for Dement ia and present changes in the function of the Center for Dementia. It was implemented to present basic data for decision-making on policies related to dementia.
Methods : Public data related to costs of care for dementia from 2016 to 2018 were collected through information disclosure requests and health care big data hub.
Results : The increase in costs of care for dementia is closely related to the increase in the elderly population and the increase in the number of dementia patients. The Center for Dementia is installed nationwide and functions as a basic infrastructure for dementia management, but it shows an imbalance in the multidisciplinary composition of manpower. After the dementia national responsibility plan, dementia patient registration and management showed a drastic increase in quantity. The quality of counseling management was improved. Cognitive rehabilitation programs and family programs had limitations in making accurate comparisons difficult due to changes in performance standards.
Conclusion : Costs of care for Dementia are constantly rising. In order to ensure the sustainability of health programs, it is necessary to properly invest dementia management project expenses. In previous studies, occupational therapy was found to have excellent net benefits. The role of occupational therapy is not limited to cognitive rehabilitation, but various responsibilities such as counseling, evaluation, intervention planning, intervention, education and management should be performed.
