Utility of TICS‐M for the assessment of cognitive function in older adults

Routine screening of high‐risk elderly people for early cognitive impairment is constrained by the limitations of currently available cognitive function tests. The Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status is a novel instrument for assessment of cognitive function that can be administered in person or by telephone.
