A total of 100 patients were discharged and referred for outpatient cognitive evaluation, consisting of 37 referred from screening and 67 through direct clinician referral. Of these, 26 (26.0%) scheduled and 19 (19.0%) completed outpatient evaluations within 100 days. Fifteen (78.9%) were formally diagnosed with dementia, CI, or memory loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ED clinicians are able to identify and appropriately refer older patients with CI for outpatient evaluation.
