Advance Care Planning in Cognitive Disorders Clinic
September 20, 2022 updated by: University of Florida
Responses to a Standardized Approach to Advance Care Planning in Cognitive Disorders Clinic
Advance care planning among patients with cognitive disorders poses unique challenges to clinicians.
To improve planning in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, the researchers suggest a routine, standardized approach to these conversations.
The main outcome measure is the rate of entry of Advance Directive completion in the patient's Electronic Health Record (EHR).
A control group of similar patients from another provider specializing in cognitive disorders will be used to tease out confounding variable effects.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Group
Patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, very mild dementia, or mild dementia, will receive the guided advance care planning conversations with the PI
|
The provider will guide advance care planning conversations with patients identified with mild or moderate dementia during their third office visit, approximately three months after the first visit.
|
No Intervention: Control Patients
Patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, very mild dementia, or mild dementia, will not receive the guided advance care planning conversations with the PI
