Cognition Counts: Improving Cognitive Impairment Screening Rates for Adults 65+ in Primary Care
Regular cognitive screening in these primary care settings remains low, but statistically significant improvements were seen based on run chart rules. Including more members of the interprofessional care team made screening easier and more sustainable. These improvements were realized in the absence of CMS Annual Wellness visits and in a setting that treats a high percentage of at-risk patients.
