Background: The Swedish registry for cognitive/dementia disorders, SveDem (www.svedem.se), is the world’s largest quality registry of dementia diseases. The aim of the register is to improve quality of diagnostics, treatment, and care for persons with dementia in Sweden. Since 2012, nursing homes can register in SveDem’s nursing home module and follow-up quality indicators to improve care and support provided. Methods: Persons with dementia are registered in the SveDem´s nursing home module at an annual follow-up. The registrations are based on variables measuring nursing practice such as person-centred care, activity level, restraints, risk assessments, drug treatment and quality of life. Nursing homes affiliated to SveDem receive online reports with descriptive statistics based on their registrations. The online reports are based on quality indicators, of which four measure person-centred care; life story used as a foundation of care, interaction strategies, individual physical environment adjustments documented and person-centered activities. Results: Between 2016-2022 a total of 7 862 persons with dementia were registered in the nursing home module. The proportion of all four quality indicators for person-centered care had increased between 2016 and 2022; life story used as a foundation of care from 66% to 78%, interaction strategies from 67% to 84%, individual environment adjustments from 57% to 78% and person-centred activities from 78% to 86%. Improvements in person-centered care were also seen at the local level for units who use their reports in SveDem. Conclusion: SveDem contributes to important knowledge and quality development in care provided for persons with dementia in a nursing home setting. The quality indicators for person-centred care are an important tool for improving quality of dementia care in nursing homes. Data from SveDem is also a good source for epidemiological research with the aim of studying the relationship between how person-centred care affect care and treatment.
