The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' 1998 Socioeconomic Survey of Fellows included questions, developed in collaboration with the Jacobs Institute of Women's Health, to assess the impact of managed care on respondents' practices and patients. Participation in managed care is extensive among obstetricians and gynecologists (ob/gyns), especially in commercial managed care plans. The greatest areas of dissatisfaction for physicians were administrative workload, external review of clinical decisions, and promptness of payment. More research is needed to determine the impact of administrative burdens, restrictions on access to ob/gyns, and denial of coverage on women's receipt of timely and appropriate services.

Otsuka America Pharmaceutical Inc., Princeton, NJ, USA.
Background: Over the past 3 years, the Global Council on Alzheimer's Disease (GCAD) has conducted research on lived experience and care partner journeys. Specifically, this research has focused on the experiences of individuals from historically underrepresented populations, including LGBTQ+, Black, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian communities. The goal has been to identify how these journeys might diverge across communities, understand various nuances that exist across cultures, and recognize the impact these might have on seeking diagnosis, care, and support.

Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, México, DF, Mexico.
Background: The World Health Organization forecasts a population of 2,000 million people over 60 years by the year 2050, with 7% of this population suffering from dementia. Making a constant clinical-technological evaluation of older adults allows early detection of the disease and provides a better quality of life for the patient. In this sense, the research and development of innovative technological systems for the early detection of the disease, its monitoring and management of the growing number of patients with cognitive diseases has increased in recent years, integrating data collection and its automatic processing based on geriatric metrics into these systems using artificial intelligence (AI) methods.

Involvement of caregivers in dementia research is an admirable goal. Involvement of caregivers in care planning for patients and people living with dementia, is essential to good medicine. However, it is important to assess and realistically consider areas where researchers and caregivers, and physicians and caregivers, may disagree.

This presentation will provide an overview of the MINT care model and results of a process evaluation of the implementation of the model in three provinces in Canada using the Research Medical Council framework for evaluating complex interventions.
Methods: 178 healthcare providers (HCP) were trained to establish 10 MINT clinics across three Canadian provinces.
Background: Harmful care including the prescribing of high-risk and potentially inappropriate medications for older people is widespread among older adults, including people living with dementia (PLWD). Integrated Memory Care (IMC) is a comprehensive dementia care model where patients and their family caregivers access dementia-sensitive geriatric primary care.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult patients of IMC, Cognitive Neurology (CN), and Primary Care (PC) clinics aged 65 and older with a diagnosis of dementia in 2019-2021.
