This module will help you lay the groundwork for an early detection program for cognitive impairment. The Goals and Actions related to planning are divided into the three sections below: Start-up, Program parameters, Execution readiness.
The Goals in this section will help you build your case for early detection and gain support for the program.
The Goals in this section will help you develop the details of your early detection program, such as operational and logistical components that will guide the development of a program proposal or charter document.
The final set of Goals in the planning module will help you mobilize your healthcare team and prepare your teams to execute the program.
Note: It is not critical that these Goals are followed in sequence; the order may vary based on local context.
Following the Goals are potential barriers you may encounter as you plan for implementation and mitigation strategies for addressing these barriers.
At the end of this module, you will have in place what you need to move on to the Implement module, including:
“Its really important to find the champions, and the champion its maybe a person, not a doctor, but a health secretary of a municipality, for instance.”
