Promoting Goals-of-Care Discussions for Patients With Memory Problems and Their Caregivers

The Jumpstart Guide is a communication-priming intervention for clinicians, patients and their families in the outpatient setting. The intervention's goal is to prompt clinicians to provide, during a scheduled (non-urgent) clinic visit, standard of care which includes a discussion with patients (and/or their LNOKs) about their goals of care. It is designed to promote and guide these discussions for older adults with memory problems through suggestions and tips on the Jumpstart Guide.
