Memory clinic/geheugenpoli
The centro di memoria was founded in December 2014 as a diagnostic center for patients with cognitive or memory problems. It is a service in cooperation between the Horacio E. Oduber Hospitaal and S.A.B.A (Stichting Algemene Bejaardenzorg Aruba). The diagnostic center also functions as a starting point to deliver integrated care to patients that are diagnosed with a type of dementia (e.g. house visits). To get an appointment a referral from the GP ('verwijsbrief') is necessary. The patient will be seen for the entire morning or afternoon by several members of the staff. Possible further investigations (e.g. CT, MRI or EEG) will be asked for. After all information and results have been gathered the case will be discussed in a multidisciplinary manner. Diagnosis and plan will be formulated and the patient will get a new appointment to discuss the diagnosis and plan for follow up.
