There are obvious benefits to working in collaboration. However, real collaboration takes time; time to engage in meetings, complete accountability processes, and resolve problems. The delicate balance between democracy and efficiency can be compromised when you have to choose between equal participation and looming deadlines (Stoecker, 2003). Weaver and Cousins (2004) described this dilemma as assessing manageability or having to make a choice between achieving complete diversity on the researcher-community team and the unwieldiness of working with a large committee. Compromise is often necessary. This article describes our experiences using a collaborative approach involving university-based researchers and community professionals—in this case, long-term care (LTC) managers, administrators, and hospital-based educators and researchers—to create an online dementia care training program.

Abstract One arm of the Utah Geriatrics Education Consortium focuses on providing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) education to formal and informal caregivers. An interdisciplinary group of faculty developed a 3-hour online training program focused on best care practices, recommended by the National Alzheimer’s Association, for persons with ADRD residing in long-term care settings. Topic include: 1) Overview of Dementia (e.g., What are types of dementia and the associated symptoms?), 2) Understanding Behaviors and Your Approach (e.g., What are the best methods for recognizing and reporting behavior change?), 3) Effective Communication within Long-Term Care (e.g., What are the best strategies to enact effective team meetings?), and 4) Communication and Responding to Behaviors (e.g., What are methods for reducing patient agitation?). Throughout the four modules a case study follows “Mrs. Jones” to demonstrate the skills and techniques raised in each module. Pre- and post-evaluation questions are embedded in the training program.
