Abstract: ACT on Alzheimers (ACT) is a voluntary collaborative in Minnesota started in 2011, with the goal of implementing legislative recommendations to prepare the state for the personal, social and budgetary impacts of dementia. One of ACT on Alzheimers five leadership groups set out to identify and encourage investment in promising approaches that reduce costs and improve care. The leadership group decided to develop a model useful both now and in the future to provide Minnesota policy makers and health care leaders with relevant estimates of potential cost savings associated with varying dementia care approaches to help guide the investment of resources in the future. To this end, the group commissioned an economic model to estimate the cost-saving potential of proven interventions.
