Early identification of cognitive decline is critical in primary care. By initiating early conversations and incorporating cognitive health screening into routine primary care, providers can proactively identify concerns, support patients and families, and connect them with timely resources and interventions.

The PREPARE initiative equips healthcare professionals with evidence-based tools, combining the latest research, expert consensus, and real-world strategies to support confident integration of cognitive health screening into clinical practice. This comprehensive toolkit  empowers providers to make cognitive health screening a standard part of care, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in addressing cognitive concerns.

The resources provided offer actionable guidance for recognizing early signs of cognitive decline, engaging patients and caregivers in meaningful discussions, implementing effective screening protocols, and developing tailored, multidisciplinary care plans. By leveraging these tools, clinicians can address individual patient needs and preferences, fostering a proactive and informed approach to provide the required care and management.
