Quality of Care for Individuals with Dementia in Asia 

This research study aims to synthesize culturally sensitive and globally relevant indicators for individuals with advanced dementia, ensuring inclusive and comprehensive evaluation of end-of-life (EOL) care and planning.

We will conduct a modified Delphi study to establish a set of consensus indicators and outcomes for assessing the quality of EOL care for individuals with dementia residing in Asia. Delphi panellists will include experienced healthcare professionals, researchers and patient advocates providing care to a family/friend with dementia.
