DECODEing Dementia Triage
A large proportion of people who are referred to memory clinics are cognitively healthy and do not receive a diagnosis of dementia or another cognitive deficit.
If used as a triage system, DECODE has the potential to reduce waiting lists, reduce the cost per diagnosis, and prevent unnecessary distress in cognitively healthy patients who can be reassured at a much earlier stage.
This PenCHORD project modelled the anticipated impact using DECODE would have on patient waiting times for assessment.
