Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Clinic Level
  • The program will be offered to six primary care clinics. Each must meet the following criteria:
  • Be a member in a practice-based research network (PBRN) within the Meta-network Learning and Research Center (Meta-LARC),
  • Have a functional EHR,
  • Have leadership that agrees to clinic participation, and
  • Is willing to attempt to track and report the number of eligible patients (those with dementia seen in the clinic by program-trained clinicians) and the number of these patients and/or care partners that received ACP from these program-trained clinicians during a 5-month follow-up period.
  • Clinician/Staff Level
  • Within participating clinics, primary care clinicians and other staff must meet all the following inclusion criteria to participate in the training program and the research questionnaire/interview:
  • Willing to participate in ECHO sessions,
  • Willing to work on ACP implementation between sessions, and
  • Be highly likely to have visits with at least 8 patients with dementia and/or their care partners in a 5-month follow-up period.
  • Adults of any age and pregnant people will be allowed to participate. Primary care clinicians and staff will all be over 18 years old and there is no maximum age limit for participation. It is possible that a primary care clinician or staff member who participates may be pregnant. This research does not inquire about pregnancy status and there is no added risk to the fetus in including a pregnant person in professional training.

Exclusion

  • Anyone meeting one or more of the exclusion criteria listed here will be excluded. We will exclude:
  • Children and adolescents, as the target population is primary care clinicians, patient care team members, and primary care clinic staff;
  • Clinicians who do not provide primary care;
  • Primary care clinicians who do not care for patients with dementia; and
  • Primary care clinics that do not have sufficient clinicians (6 clinicians or team members) or sufficient patients (at least 8 patients each) with dementia to meet the pilot test targets.
  • There will be no systematic exclusion of participants based on age, gender or race, and/or ethnicity.
