GHR-Funded Alzheimer’s Study Focuses on Physician Outreach

10/13/2014

The journal Clinics in Geriatric Medicine recently published the results of GHR-funded physician outreach efforts by the Minnesota/North Dakota Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Published as part of a larger article titled, “Developing Dementia-Capable Health Care Systems,” the piece highlights the importance of engaging community-based organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association in connecting patients with caregivers. 

The research shows how community-based organizations reinforce services commonly provided by social workers. These services range from providing information for physicians regarding caregiver education to referring community services. The Minnesota/North Dakota Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association was specifically highlighted, due to its newly-developed network of providers and clinics, which made an important step in establishing dementia-capable health care by increasing the occurrence of direct contact between patients and physicians.

GHR supports innovative new approaches to address the impact of Alzheimer’s disease.  Learn more about our grant making today.
