PQRS 280 [Reviewed by NQF but not endorsed]: “Dementia: Staging of Dementia” Although this practice may help clinicians in determining the appropriate management of patients with dementia, there is a lack of high-quality evidence examining the impact of the staging of dementia on clinical outcomes or on the appropriate interval for clinical assessment.
