Cognitive Assessments: Expanding Brain Health in Primary Care
Discover new, more efficient ways to catch cognitive impairment early
Nearly 1 in 5 patients over 65 has mild cognitive impairment and 1 in 9 has dementia. With baby boomers advancing into older age, it’s more important than ever for providers – especially those in primary care settings – to help patients get ahead of cognitive decline. But who should have a cognitive screening and what can patients do if a test finds issues?
This webinar provides insights into the changing landscape of cognitive healthcare, advancements in cognitive assessment methods, and the latest research about modifiable risk factors for dementia. It also includes tips for evaluating and implementing cognitive testing tools - with a focus on primary care practices.
