@techiedale I think we ask PCP to do too much. Assessing cognition & deciding whether people are OK, or need thorough workup, is complicated. One study found about 40% of people who had probable dementia by examination had no dementia diagnosis in medi
However, phenotyping from EHRs is no simple task! Dementia is underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and underreported - a shocking 58.7% of older adults with probable #dementia never receive or are unaware of their diagnosis (e.g., see https://t.co/e6wWX57pFz).

This is a REAL problem in older adult care and by the time the diagnosis is properly made, many behavioral health concerns have set in: depression, severe anxiety, insomnia and even psychosis. Early sympton recognition and assessments are critical. #dement

Important study finds many older adults with “probably dementia” are unaware of their diagnosis. People who are Hispanic, who have less than high school education, and those who visit a doctor alone are more likely to be undiagnosed. @JohnsHopkinsSPH https

Nearly 60% of US older adults with #dementia are either undiagnosed or unaware of diagnosis. More likely if less education, less impairment, and in seniors who go to doctors’ visits alone. There is room to improve! @HopkinsMedicine https://t.co/IVHmLrGNId
