Bims calculator for assessing cognitive impairment
Easily assess cognitive functioning with our bims calculator for healthcare professionals.
Basic instructions for the BIMS:
It would be best to conduct the interview in a quiet, private setting. Ensure you introduce the test to the resident and that the resident does not have a hearing problem. If the resident has a hearing impairment, offer alternative modes of communication, such as writing or cue cards
Part I – Repetition of three words
Inform the resident that you will say three words and that they need to remember the words and repeat them. Say the three words, e.g., sock, blue, and bed. Ask the resident to reproduce the three words and note the number after the first attempt:
Part II – Temporal orientation
A. Ask the resident what year it is right now and report their answer:
B. Ask the resident what month we are in at the moment and report their answer:
C. Ask the resident what day of the week it is today and report their response:
Part III – Recall
Tell the resident that you are going back to the earlier question and ask them to say the words that they were asked to repeat. If they are unable to remember a word, provide cues such as “something to wear”, ”a color”, “a piece of furniture.”
A. Able to recall “sock”?
B. Able to recall “blue”?
C. Able to recall “bed”?
