Study type | Observational |
Veterans who completed GEMS-Phase 1 will be asked to participate in GEMS-Phase 2 to
determine the accuracy of methods used to assess mild memory problems. This will better help
us evaluate the screening test completed in GEMS-Phase 1. The goals are:
1. Compare the assessment of memory made at the initial visit to assessments of memory
made at the second evaluation.
2. Determine of veterans with mild memory problems have improvement or worsening of these
memory problems over time. Our long-term goal remains to optimize the quality of care
for veterans with cognitive impairment. We will also determine if patient
characteristics can be used to target case-finding, describe the current process of
care and evaluate the association between cognitive impairment and overall- and
dementia-related health care utilization and costs.
