of cognitive abnormalities, thus increasing reliability of diagnoses and assisting with differential diagnoses for a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions (2). In addition, the use of cognitive screens at emergency intake may enhance the delivery of psychiatric services (2). In this first segment of a two-part review, we highlight several cognitive screening batteries that are designed to assess a wide range of cognitive functions among psychiatric and geriatric patients. Although not all the screening instruments were specifically designed for use in the psychiatric emergency service, they appear to be sufficiently adaptable for deployment in emergency service settings. The examples presented are intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, of the many measures that can be effectively used as cognitive screens in psychiatric emergency services.
