The Cognitive Health Assessment: The Basics is a multimodal training for primary care teams on how to conduct a 5–10-minute cognitive health assessment (CHA), It also includes information on the next immediate steps in an evaluation and starting a brain health plan. The cognitive health assessment can be used whenever a cognitive assessment is indicated, including during the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit.

At Dementia Care Aware, we understand that brain health is integral to overall well-being. Our comprehensive cognitive screening approach, known as the Cognitive Health Assessment (CHA), is designed for quick, confident, and regular use with older adult patients. Developed in collaboration with California’s dementia and primary care experts, the CHA is a 5–10-minute annual screen covering cognitive, functional, and care partner assessments. It is endorsed by the California Department of Health Care Services as the standard of care for dementia screening in older adults. Providers completing CHA training can bill for a cognitive assessment in their Medi-Cal beneficiaries using billing code 1494F.

Dementia Care Aware’s training on the CHA includes an overview of dementia, review of the recommended tools for screening, and how to conduct the screening. Through real-world examples, you will learn how to conduct the assessment as any member of the primary care team. 

Learners can access a self-paced version of the training by signing up on our eLearning platform or by registering for a live-virtual training.
