How to be seen at a USC Brain Health Network clinic
If you or your family have concerns about changes in memory or thinking, the first
step is to talk to your primary care provider. Your healthcare provider can determine
if a referral to the USC Brain Health Network is appropriate.
If you are referred to the USC Brain Health Network, our team will complete a thorough
cognitive and functional assessment to better understand your concerns and current
level of change.
After your screenings and evaluation, we will develop a personalized care plan to
meet you and your care partner or family's needs and goals. The care plan is also
shared with your referring provider, who remains responsible for your ongoing care.
The Appointment Process
We schedule two Brain Health Network appointments with the patient and/or the caregiver
to determine care plan recommendations. These results are shared with your referring
provider to manage your care or provide next steps for you.
Your first appointment will be an in-person visit with a Speech-Language Pathologist.
They will talk with you about memory, thinking, daily activities, your concerns, and
will give you the cognitive screening.
Your second appointment will be an in-person visit with a health care provider. They
will have evaluated your screening results and discuss level of cognitive change and
provide individualized recommendation and education to help you understand your next
steps.
When both appointments are complete, our team will send your screening results and
recommended care plan to your provider.
