Methods: This was a qualitative, exploratory investigation involving: Interviews (N = 43) to elicit perceived barriers to and facilitators of change, focus group discussions (N = 51) to develop an implementation strategy, and re-affirmation through written feedback (n = 19). Professionals, patients, researchers and policymakers from different healthcare sectors participated.

Shared decision making, a buzz-word in the Netherlands, the pace quickens towards nationwide implementation….

Currently, shared decision making (SDM) is on the agenda among target patient representative groups, policy makers and professional bodies. Although the International Conference for Shared Decision Making (ISDM) 2011 generated a positive boost, hesitation was also felt among Dutch clinicians, who are challenged by many new tasks. No hesitation is seen among the majority of patients, opting mostly for the SDM model.

Comparison of the adaptive implementation and evaluation of the Meeting Centers Support Program for people with dementia and their family carers in Europe; study protocol of the MEETINGDEM project.

Background: The MEETINGDEM study aims to implement and evaluate an innovative, inclusive, approach to supporting community dwelling people with mild to moderate dementia and their family carers, called the Meeting Centers Support Program (MCSP), in three countries in the European Union (EU): Italy, Poland and United Kingdom. Demonstrated benefits of this person-centered approach, developed in The Netherlands, include high user satisfaction, reduced behavioral and mood problems, delayed admission to residential care, lower levels of caregiving-related stress, higher carer competence, and improved collaboration between care and welfare organizations.

Methods: The project will be carried out over a 36 month period.
