Introduction of a section for recording dementia improves data capture on the ambulance electronic patient record: evidence from a regional quality improvement project.

Introduction: Dementia is a common co-morbidity in older people who require urgent or emergency ambulance attendance and influences clinical decisions and care pathways.

This includes a dementia diagnosis button and a free-text section.
