Dementia in Primary Care: Setting the Stage for Quality Improvement
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No intervention delivered. for Dementia and Memory Disorders. Completed, enrolled 630 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Veterans who completed GEMS-Phase 1 will be asked to participate in GEMS-Phase 2 to determine the accuracy of methods used to assess mild memory problems. This will better help us evaluate the screening test completed in GEMS-Phase 1. The goals are: 1. Compare the assessment of memory made at the initial visit to assessments of memory made at the second evaluation. 2. Determine of veterans with mild memory problems have improvement or worsening of these memory problems over time. Our long-term goal remains to optimize the quality of care for veterans with cognitive impairment. We will also determine if patient characteristics can be used to target case-finding, describe the current process of care and evaluate the association between cognitive impairment and overall- and dementia-related health care utilization and costs.
