Description

Summary

The eRADAR Brain Health Study seeks to refine and test a novel, low-cost strategy for increasing dementia detection within primary care.

Official Title

Low-cost Detection of Dementia Using Electronic Health Records Data: Validation and Testing of the Electronic Health Record Risk of Alzheimer's and Dementia Assessment Rule (eRADAR) Algorithm in a Pragmatic, Patient-centered Trial.

Details

Detailed description: eRADAR stands for "electronic health record (EHR) Risk of Alzheimer's and Dementia Assessment Rule." It is a low-cost tool or algorithm that uses readily available EHR data elements to identify high-risk patients. The investigators will conduct a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of implementing eRADAR as part of a supported outreach process on dementia detection rates. The investigators will also explore the impact of eRADAR implementation on healthcare utilization and patient experience.
