Description: Cognition has weakened
More info: The client’s cognition has weakened.
CPS-AI estimates the client’s cognition, where 0 = No impairment 1 = Possible mild impairment 2 = Mild impairment 3 = Moderate impairment 4 = Moderate/severe impairment 5 = Severe impairment 6 = Very severe impairment
The assessment takes into account
- the ability to understand speech and be understood
- possible confusion
- memory
- decision-making ability
- the need for assistance with eating
CPS-AI scores are usually close to CPS scores (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8297343/), but may differ in some situations because CPS-AI relies on the client’s daily care notes interpreted by artificial intelligence.
