From brain disease to brain health: primary prevention of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders in a health system using an electronic medical record-based approach.
This study aimed to primarily prevent Alzheimer's disease and related disorders through electronic medical record (EMR)-based screening, risk assessments, interventions, and surveillance. The investigators are translating research into primary prevention of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders in their health system and aim to shift the paradigm in Neurology from brain disease to brain health.

Structured clinical documentation in the electronic medical record to improve quality and to support practice-based research in epilepsy.
The researchers describe a stepwise process for building structured clinical documentation support tools in the electronic medical record (EMR) that define best practices in epilepsy, and describe how they incorporated these toolkits into their clinical workflow. These tools write notes and capture hundreds of fields of data including several score tests. They also summarize brain imaging, blood laboratory, and electroencephalography results, and document neuromodulation treatments.
