Early Detection and Proactive Care: Using Cognitive Assessments to Support Patient Health
Cognitive assessments are designed to help identify early signs of cognitive decline or other cognitive concerns in patients. At PremierCare, a mini-mental state examination is provided to evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and problem-solving skills, providing our primary care providers with important insights into our patient's cognitive health.
The results can aid in diagnosing conditions like mild cognitive impairment, dementia, or other neurological issues, and guide decisions for further evaluation or treatment. This service supports proactive care, helping ensure that patients receive the appropriate interventions and support for optimal cognitive health.
