Abstract: Fifty percent of people living with dementia are undiagnosed, delaying access to treatment, education, and support. There is a need for large-scale, low-cost strategies to improve dementia detection. The electronic health record (EHR) Risk of Alzheimer's and Dementia Assessment Rule (eRADAR) was developed to identify older adults at risk of having undiagnosed dementia using routinely collected clinical data. In this webinar, we will present two studies aimed at evaluating the potential impact of using eRADAR to improve dementia diagnosis. First, we will present external validation of the eRADAR risk score in two real-world healthcare systems, Kaiser Permanente Washington and the University of California at San Francisco. Second, we will discuss the design and conduct of an embedded pragmatic randomized clinical trial to determine whether an intervention using eRADAR increases dementia diagnosis rates. This webinar will highlight statistical strategies for navigating challenges related to clinical prediction models, algorithmic equity, cluster-randomized trials, and research with electronic health records data.
Speaker Bio: Dr. Yates Coley is an Associate Biostatistics Investigator at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute and Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Washington. Dr. Coley's statistical research program focuses on developing statistical methods that enable rapid evidence generation and synthesis from electronic health records data to inform and improve health care delivery. They collaborate in many content areas includes mental health, aging, cancer, health services, and health equity. Dr. Coley has been recognized with the Emerging Leader Award from the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies and with the Health Care Heroes award from the Puget Sound Business Journal.
