To test the accuracy of a brief cognitive assessment of nursing home (NH) residents and to determine whether facility nurses can reliably perform this assessment.Cross-sectional, independent cognitive screening tests with NH residents.Six Department of Veteran Affairs nursing facilities.Three hundred seventy-four residents from six regionally distributed Veteran Affairs NHs.Three cognitive assessment instruments: the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS), created for this study; the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.0 Cognitive Performance Scale (CPS), and the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS) as the criterion standard. The 15-point BIMS tests memory and orientation and includes free and cued recall items. Research assistants administered the 3MS and BIMS to all subjects. Facility nurses administered the same BIMS to a subsample.Three hundred seventy-four of 417 (89.7%) residents approached completed the 3MS and research assistant-administered BIMS (BIMS-R); 212 residents also received a facility nurse-administered BIMS (BIMS-N). The BIMS-R was more highly correlated with the 3MS than was the CPS (Pearson correlation coefficient (r)=0.79 vs 0.62; P
