How do patients, medical assistants and physicians accept and experience tablet-based cognitive testing by medical assistants in general practice? - A qualitative study
The positive user experience and high acceptance of participants indicate that tablet-based cognitive testing in GP settings can be highly feasible and can thus lead to indicated specialist referrals. Consequently, the management of patients exhibiting dementia symptoms should increasingly commence in GP practices, receive adequate funding, and occur in close collaboration with other specialized disciplines.
