“…Clinicians need to develop new cost-effective ways to deliver a wider range of services in long-term care settings. They also need to stay abreast of empirical evidence about the efficacy and effectiveness of short-term, long-term, direct, and indirect interventions to maintain and/or improve function and quality of life in dementia patients (e.g., Arkin, 2001;Camp, Foss, O'Hanlon, & Stevens, 1995;Clare et al, 2000;Hopper, 2001;Mahendra, 2001;Moss, Polignano, White, Minichiello, & Sunderland, 2002, and other articles in this issue). Furthermore, clinicians need to participate in collaborative research efforts to fill gaps in the research concerning non-pharmacological interventions.…”
