	The '''MMSE''' is an effective instrument to separate patients with cognitive deterioration from those without it. When used repeatedly the instrument is able to measure changes in cognitive status. It is important to note, that the tool is not able to diagnose the case for changes in cognitive function. As well, the instrument relies heavily on verbal responses, such as reading and writing. Consequently, patients that have a hearing or visual impairment may have low literacy when cognitively they might be intact.
