“I’m honored to be presenting at DIA 2017,” commented Zupancic. “This panel discussion presents a great opportunity for the leaders in our field to discuss recruiting patients in different stages of cognitive impairment which requires targeted outreach, engagement and retention strategies. I will be discussing best practices for developing and implementing a patient-centered approach that is focused on using the right channels and messaging for faster recruitment and lasting engagement, including how we demonstrate value and measure outcome and impact.”
