Abstract

Shah et al. embedded a brief bilingual dementia screening tool in the electronic health record and reported increases in diagnosis, referral, laboratory testing, and prescribing in a diverse primary care clinic serving patients at risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The novelty lies less in the test itself than in integrating culturally and linguistically responsive case finding into routine care and linking positive results to next clinical actions. This commentary considers how that implementation logic could be adapted to Japan.
