Decision analysis and Alzheimer disease: three case studies.

Decision analysis may be useful to people facing Alzheimer disease (AD) decisions. The use of decision analysis in three such cases is reported. The first case involved a middle-aged person worried about early-onset AD and deciding whether to seek genetic testing. The analysis let the participant reject testing and consider innovative care options. The second case involved a middle-aged person concerned about later-onset AD. The analysis for her was more complex, and led to the assignment of some limited value on genetic testing for her. The third case revolved around a caregiver's treatment decisions for a patient with severe AD. It led her to recognize the importance of factors she had not previously considered. In each of the three cases, the intensive process of decision analysis appears to have improved the subject's decision.

Case management applications in Australia.

Case management approaches in Australia were first introduced in the fields of intellectual disability and vocational rehabilitation in the 1970s and 1980s by major system reformers very much influenced by international trends in these particular fields. A broader diffusion occurred in the 1980s and 1990s with federal and state governments beginning to incorporate case management approaches into key policy documents, particularly in the fields of aging, mental health, and employment. The models of case management introduced have not been particularly sophisticated in terms of financial control nor have many models been specifically evaluated. They have, however, been introduced into a system in which they are underpinned by a basic safety net of universal health coverage and a noncontributory pension system funded out of general revenue. There is now fairly widespread diffusion of the concept and practice of case management across a broad range of client populations and an interest in more sophisticated implementation models.
