| Annotation | Assessment of cognitive impairment in chronic care populations is complicated by non-cognitive factors, such as physical, perceptual and communication disorders. Measures reviewed in the article have been developed for use, or are widely used with such populations. These include measures for use exclusively among those with advanced cognitive impairment and communication disorder, as well as measures that can be used across a broader spectrum of impairment. Four approaches to measurement are described: direct assessment, observation, informant, and chart-based data reporting. The need for more longitudinal investigations to compare these approaches is discussed, coupled with a better blend of the theoretical and the operational definition of cognitive constructs measured using these approaches.
