Maximizing the “Functional” in the Functional External Memory Aid Tool for Patient-Centered Treatment Planning in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Our analysis suggests that beyond a 4-point item score, the FEMAT elicits behavioral (e.g., used an EMA) and verbal (e.g., discussion of health information) content that may be useful for person-centered treatment planning. This study is part of a comprehensive research agenda establishing the evidence for the validity of the FEMAT to support its use to inform person-centered treatment approaches.
