PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In this interactive grand rounds program, we will provide instruction on screening, diagnosing, and staging of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. The lecture and case-based scenarios will educate participants on the appropriate use of disease-modifying therapy, assessing and managing adverse events associated with these therapies, and implementing tools to solve issues with access to therapy. Finally, the faculty will discuss shared decision-making practices and multidisciplinary care as essential elements toward successful treatment of these patients.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of healthcare providers involved in the diagnosis and continued care of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, including primary care physicians, neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other multidisciplinary team members. Given the coordinated effort required for diagnosis and management of AD patients, it is important to reach both community healthcare providers and specialists. Program activities have been designed in a manner to enable learners to choose programming most relevant to their professional needs.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

• Integrate evidence-based pathways for screening, diagnosing, and staging MCI and AD
• Appraise clinical practice recommendations informing use of DMTs for AD and identifying those who qualify for treatment based on available clinical data
• Assess and manage potential adverse events associated with DMTs for AD using a multidisciplinary approach
• Develop practice protocols to improve access to DMTs for AD
• Apply best practices for shared decision making when discussing DMT treatment for AD, including discussions of treatment benefits, risks, and what to expect with therapy
