Primary Care-Based Screening Pathway and Care Bundle for Persons with Early Cognitive Impairment Using tools to identify possible participants, Remote clinical assessment, and blood based biomarkers, a study that brings together a team of researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine to validate and refine their unique innovative approach aimed at improving how individuals with early cognitive impairments are identified in primary care settings and facilitated into specialized care pathways. The researchers are leveraging electronic health records and novel blood tests in their screening, assessment, and care pathway strategy. The objective is to detect cognitive impairment early, offering a cost-effective model that can be scaled in large health systems.
