Discussion and Documentation of Hearing Difficulty by Providers in the Presence of Cognitive Concerns‐ study of the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit and Medial Record
Clinicians are less likely to document hearing concerns and incorporate hearing concerns as a health problem at the AWV for patients with dementia. The complex care needs of dementia may inhibit clinician ability to attend to other patient health concerns- like hearing. Opportunity to embed hearing and communication educational interventions which support clinicians in addressing patient-collected health risks can improve overall dementia care.
