This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a tool called the Jumpstart Guide helps doctors have more meaningful conversations with patients who have memory loss (like Alzheimer's disease) and their families about their care goals and wishes. The guide pulls information from the patient's medical records to help doctors know what conversations might be important to have during a regular clinic visit.
Many patients with memory loss and their families want to talk with their doctors about what kind of care is most important to them, but these conversations don't always happen. This trial is testing whether giving doctors a simple guide can help prompt and improve these important discussions.
If you are randomly assigned to receive the Jumpstart Guide, your doctor will receive a customized guide before your next clinic visit that includes information from your medical records and suggestions for discussing your care goals with you. If you are in the usual care group, you will receive standard medical care without the guide. All participants may be asked to complete surveys or interviews about their experience, and the research team will track whether goals-of-care conversations happen during your visits.
