Lessons from Detecting Cognitive Impairment Including Dementia (DetectCID) in Primary Care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment, including dementia, is frequently under-detected in primary care. The Consortium for Detecting Cognitive Impairment, including Dementia (DetectCID) convenes three multidisciplinary teams that are testing novel paradigms to improve the frequency and quality of patient evaluations for detecting cognitive impairment in primary care and appropriate follow-up.

Objective

Our objective was to characterize the three paradigms, including similarities and differences, and to identify common key lessons from implementation.

A qualitative evaluation study with dementia specialists who were implementing the detection paradigms. Data was analyzed using content analysis.

Results

We identified core components of each paradigm. Key lesso
