Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot test a telehealth Advance Care Planning (ACP) intervention among those with either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or unrecognized dementia. Our goal is to pilot-test and evaluate a pragmatic Telehealth ACP intervention among patients with either the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or unrecognized dementia.

Detailed description

Telehealth has the potential to overcome barriers related to timing and travel restraints and to provide patients and their caregivers with an opportunity to discuss their goals, values, and priorities for their healthcare within their home setting. Recent studies have demonstrated patients' willingness to use telehealth and have shown that it can play an integral role in dementia care management.
