| Annotation | Two models were used to provide education about Alzheimer's disease (AD) for primary care physicians in a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) network including 8 facilities. The Truth and Trainer model developed by the John A Hartford Foundation and the American Geriatrics Society was used to prepare physician leaders to conduct Memory Loss Tool Kit sessions for colleagues in their VHA settings. Videoconference techniques were used to present case-based Grand Rounds about best practice around particular patient situations. Methods and evaluation of both programmes are discussed. Successful follow-through by physician leaders requires ongoing incentives and support. The Videoconference Grand Rounds Program requires skill to initiate and maintain effective technology. Both models demonstrate successful outcomes. (RH). |
