Working Together: Improving Early Diagnosis and Management of Alzheimer’s Disease in Primary Care

Wednesday, May 31| 3:00-4:00 p.m. | Speaker: Heidi Yount, MD, FAAFP

Learning Objectives Goals/Expected Outcomes
  1. Explain the importance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
  2. Apply office-based cognitive assessment tools to aid in the early diagnosis of AD
  3. Employ the inter-disciplinary team in the management of behavioral issues in patients with AD
  4. Engage in dialogue with patients and caregivers in a subsequent treatment plan
  5. Outline a plan to connect with community-based resources in the long-term management of patients with AD.
 Primary care physicians require education to overcome their commonly cited barriers to the diagnosis and management of AD. Education should be aimed at an improved recognition of the benefits of early diagnosis; the use of office-based cognitive-assessment tools; the management of common behavioral disturbances in AD; the importance of clear communication with patients and caregivers; and guidance for establishing effective connections with relevant community-based, social, and long-term care clinicians.
