The DICE Triad represents the interconnected relationship of three important groups of factors that can contribute to problem behaviors with dementia. These factors are related to: the person with dementia, the caregiver, and the environment. By considering all factors, more effective results in managing behaviors in dementia are possible.
The DICE Approach training program includes:
- Training videos narrated by Dr. Helen C. Kales, a board-certified, fellowship trained geriatric psychiatrist, accomplished researcher and expert in the assessment and management of BPSD
- Case-based "e-simulations" so that you can practice what you have learned
- A DICE worksheet that can be downloaded and printed for daily use
- The official DICE training manual companion (sold separately)
The DICE Approach training will educate caregivers about the proper role of medications for patients with BPSD:
- What are the only three first-line scenarios for medication use?
- Risks and benefits seen with commonly used drugs in dementia
- Why medications in dementia should be broadened to include non-psychiatric medications
