As described earlier, the NZ dementia framework was rolled out as a guide that DHBs could use in their work with primary, secondary, and community health and social support services to develop clear, consistent, well-resourced, and easily accessible dementia care pathways. The aim of the framework was to promote national consistency in dementia care while allowing for flexibility to adapt to local priorities and encourage innovation. Nine regional dementia pathways were subsequently developed, providing local guidance on the assessment, management, and ongoing support for people with dementia and their family/whanau. These pathways provide guidance on care coordination and case management for the associated regions.
