The 5-Cog Paradigm: An Innovation to Improve Detection and Management of Impaired Cognition in Primary Care

In April 2024, a team of researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine led by Dr. Joe Verghese published the results of a randomized controlled trial examining the impact of implementing the 5-Cog Paradigm in primary care. The 5-Cog Paradigm includes a non-literacy biased, culturally fair cognitive detection tool combined with clinical decision support embedded in the electronic medical record. In this Momentum Discussion Podcast episode, Dr. Verghese discusses the unmet needs that led to the development of the 5-Cog, explains the 5-Cog Paradigm, and shares key findings from the team’s research.
