Perinatal and infant mental health care models and pathways
Up to 20% of women and 10% of men suffer from mental health problems during pregnancy and in the first year after the birth of the child. Due to the potentially severe impact on parents and child, there is an urgent need for rapid and effective care. This scoping review provides an overview of international models for the prevention and care of perinatal mental health problems and describes their similarities and differences. The review is part of the FWF funded research project ‘Co-designing perinatal mental health support in Tyrol’.

Quality Registries in Dementia Care: Mapping of Registries to improve Quality and Service Delivery
QRs in dementia care are systems to support decision-makers and healthcare planners in developing optimal dementia care pathways while improving the quality of dementia care services and patient outcomes. The aim of the report was to analyse dementia QRs and to provide an overview of the quality indicators used including the underlying evidence. In addition, the empirical results from the identified dementia QRs, in combination with good registry practice from the literature, were embedded into a good practice framework.
