Cedars-Sinai Pilots EHR Algorithm to Better Spot Dementia in Older Adults 

Cedars-Sinai is leading the way in dementia care with their new method for analyzing electronic health records in older adults. Their algorithm, currently in use on two hospital floors, alerts medical staff to potential cases of dementia or age-related cognitive decline, leading to earlier and better care for patients. The organization is also expanding the use of the algorithm to other units and planning a second phase to connect older adults with the primary care services they need. This innovative approach is a game-changer in the field of geriatric care.
