Abstract: 

This 30 minute "Concepts in Common" video synthesizes the key aspects of dementia from an interdisciplinary approach. All team members, including the patient and family, need to have a common understanding of key terms and each's role from a common framework.  Communicating using SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Request/Recommendation)  is essential and clarified with a "Role Map."

Educational objectives: 

- Define and understand dementia and its significance in patient care

- Learn how to administer and interpret the Mini-Cog

- Define your role on an interdisciplinary team in caring for patients with dementia

- Learn how to communicate effectively about dementia using SBAR
