| Popis: | Background/Aims The current estimated prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in the US is over 5 million and projected to increase to over 15 million by 2050. The already overwhelming personal and economic burden this represents for patients, families, and health care providers is only expected to increase as well. Essentia Health recognizes the urgent need to standardize dementia diagnosis and management system-wide to enhance earlier detection of cognitive issues that will lead to better management of dementia and comorbid conditions to reduce the burden of this devastating disease and improve quality of life for patients and their caregivers. |
