The ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Dementia is the result of hard work by a group of leading physicians, measurement experts and patients. It is our recommendation of the outcomes that matter most to persons with Dementia. We urge all providers around the world to start measuring these outcomes to better understand how to improve the lives of their patients.
