A very good course for those not familiar with the BIMS. I really liked the slides with the cognitive assessment crosswalk and will definitely be utilizing this in the future to correlate scores on assessments with impairment.

The Presenter, ‘Amber Heape’ provided emphasis on how important it is to give the ‘Brief Interview for Mental Status’ exactly as it is written. Also, an in-dept exclamation of what can cause cognitive decline; Bacterial, Infectious, Sepsis(Neuro-inflammation) and, anesthesia. Timelines within normal time range to recover fromanesthesia; most within 1-hour/within a day. no major differences between IV or inhaled anesthesia.effects. And, how to select a further standardized assessment.

My current professional setting uses the BIMS as an initial screening tool and I find myself frequently having an opportunity to use a person's received results as a seaway that has enriches the whole experience for the patient, staff and family members. This course provided excellent reinforcement and talking points professionally, thank you.

It is a very important to have a brief cognitive tool that can assess individuals for any new recent decline so that any changes can be identified, and treated in a timely manner and this test will also give a baseline and then other past and present medical diagnosis can be researched for the patients that would give a possible reason for the decline. This also allows a proper treatment plan for patient.
