In what form can the MoCA assessment results be shared with patients?

The MoCA assessment results can be shared with patients in the form of a report outlining performance in each cognitive area. This approach provides a comprehensive view of the patient's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, allowing for a more in-depth discussion about the assessment findings. By detailing specific areas of cognitive function—such as attention, memory, language, and executive function—the report can help patients and their caregivers understand the implications of their scores and inform the development of a treatment plan if necessary.

Providing results in this structured format also facilitates clearer communication between healthcare professionals and patients, ensuring that the information is easily digestible and actionable. This is particularly beneficial in making follow-up decisions about care or further evaluation, as patients can refer back to the report for clarification and context regarding their cognitive status.
