Interventions
Improving Dementia Care
During a phone session, participants receive ADRD Education and Personalized Decision Counseling, which consists of eliciting values and goals to reach informed, preference-based decisions on whether to have an ADRD evaluation. Participants' primary care physicians are sent cognitive screening results and a smart order set (i.e., orders for ADRD-relevant lab and neuroimaging) via the electronic health record (EHR).
Enhanced Usual Care
Usual care enhanced with notices sent to participants' primary care physicians with cognitive screening results and a smart order set (i.e., orders for ADRD-relevant lab and neuroimaging) via the electronic health record (EHR).
