(from a patient perspective, treatment planning, research) Czech Training Version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA CZ1) for Early Identification of Alzheimer Disease Aim: Our aim was to determine diagnostic characteristics of the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) using its training version for better administration in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) for the first time in. Q1. What cognitive screens due you currently use in your service? We look forward to a busy #OTalk, with relevance to wider areas of practice and other screening tools. In this OTalk, the RCOT SSNP Stroke Clinical Forum, alongside colleagues from Neuropsychology will discuss current use of cognitive screens, issues around interpretation and training needs. In light of this current change, services are having to review their use of cognitive screens, consider alternatives and undertake the certificated training if they wish to continue using the MoCA. This change has come about through an increase in litigation in the United States where the scores of the MoCA had been used for diagnostic purposes. 1 Several studies have demonstrated its psychometric superiority 2,3 over other screening instruments. Training fees/licence can be purchased for an individual or a service and is available ere. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a cognitive instrument developed to screen for mild cognitive impairment and dementia. In the UK, Occupational therapists, as well as Neuropsychologists use the MoCA widely in stroke care to screen for cognitive impairment. From September 2020, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) requires those carrying out the screen to have undertaken certificated training to obtain a licence for continued use. Objective: The current study assessed the criterion validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a short cognitive screen for use in addiction health care.
