AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson said Bell speaking out about his problem, which has slightly improved through brain training exercises since diagnoses last year, would encourage players to treat concussion seriously.
"Daniel's story certainly goes some of the way to doing that," he said.
"Players who hear Daniel's story will realise the importance of being open and honest with their doctors."
Earlier on Thursday, Bell said his motivation for raising the issue was to encourage clubs to embrace "brain training", similar to the treatment he is receiving at Elite Minds, for players that suffer concussion.
"Now, you let [concussion] settle down and then you play again. You don't do that with a hamstring; you do rehab to improve the muscle to get it back to where it was at," he told SEN on Thursday morning.
"You get a bit of brain damage and you don't actually do anything about it, you just wait until it settles down.
"I think it will become mandatory that you have to do a certain amount of brain training … I think it needs to be done.
"I'm sort of happy this has come out so that hopefully other guys who have suffered concussion or people who want to improve their decision making, this program could be the way of the future."
The AFL has not received a claim from Bell for compensation for his injuries while Melbourne CEO Cameron Schwab said earlier on Thursday the club and the AFLPA were also yet to receive such documentation.
Anderson said Bell's situation highlighted the significance of the AFL's new concussion ruling that stipulates players cannot to return the ground after suffering the injury.
"What it illustrates is how important it is that we continue to address this issue and how important it is that our medical officers have come up with these concussion guidelines," he said.
"What we also started last year was a study for long-term tracking of players that have got concussion over the last four years.
"It's an important one to make sure we stay ahead of the game on this issue."
He also said the introduction of the substitute rule would continue to aid in the fight against head and neck injuries, which have decreased in the past few years owing to a crackdown the protection of players with their head over the ball.
"The modification to the interchange rule in part is to prevent the speed of the game going to a new level," he said.
"We've got medicos telling us if we allow the interchange to remain unchecked that you're running a higher risk of head and neck injuries of this sort of nature."
Bell, 25, said he first noticed the deterioration in his brain function when he struggled to make decisions in recent years while playing at VFL level.
"I think I was one of the first at the club to start taking notes in meetings because I knew that was the only way it was going to get into my brain," he recalled.
"During games, I would sometimes forget where I was meant to be standing and I'd get called out about it in team meetings but I couldn't give them an answer why I wasn't in the right position.
"I was just drawing blanks in games with match ups. I just thought that was me and I was a bit embarrassed about it. I didn't really want to say anything about it."
He denied he was mismanaged by Melbourne throughout his career and wanted his story to be a lesson to players determined to shrug off concussion prematurely.
