These results are based on the inputting of BCAT®-SF item scores. The conclusions reported are the result of statistical analyses from data collected from psychometric research. All results are based on statistical probabilities, not certainties.

The Short Form can differentiate between persons with and without dementia. It can be downloaded or used as an online tool. The short form is frequently used within an inter-professional model as a screening tool to identify who should receive broader BCAT® testing and BCAT® interventions.

The BCAT®-Short Form (BCAT®-SF) is a cognitive screening tool used by inter-professional teams. It is not as robust or comprehensive as the full BCAT®, it was designed as a shorter version of the full BCAT® and can be administered in three minutes or less.
