Welcome to the Alzheimer's Quality Initiative Our mission is to improve Alzheimer's disease care. We evaluate, then coach or award based on: - Ability to diagnose and disclose Alzheimer's disease. - Timeline to treatment (Door-to-Needle time). - Number dosed in your community. - Systems for safety, monitoring, and dosing. - Appropriate symptomatic management. We will never interfere with burdensome admin metrics which distract from patient care. Those who do not trust cannot be trusted. Once certified, Alzheimer's Centers of Excellence will share case reports, disseminate ideas, and further improve clinical care.

Symptomatic Treatments Obviously the focus of AQI are the AATs. But we can't neglect symptomatic management. Because maximizing patient's health means getting into the weeds, finding the worst aspects of their lives and making them better. We ask you to focus on: AChE-I for memory (not for MCI). Memantine for late disease. Brexpiprazole: FDA approved for agitation. Show a reluctance to use benzos, neuroleptics, and anti-seizure drugs in general for N-psych problems. Demonstrate knowledge about anti-cholinergic danger. Steer families away from quacks and frauds, ie., Prev@gen among many others. Behavioral approaches, caregiver coaching.
