“…Once again, the instrument now offers a complex item to assess different cognitive and executive abilities, which will mainly emphasize comprehension -which depends on other specific cognitive circuits associated with linguistic semantic functions and memory (Salles & Parente 2002), I understand that the command to read the sentence and execute it requires processing of the written language supported by the processes of decoding and understanding (Santos & Navas, 2004) and also requires organization of problem solving based on the praxis that organizes the specific motor act required (close the eyes themselves). In addition to the ideational praxis in which the sequential organization of motor acts would be allowed (Tempest, 2017), there is currently a MMSE command that emphasizes the response to plan and execute such motor acts in relation to the body itself (Ferro, 2020 ).

Introduction: In the covid-19 pandemic, health services began to reorganize and offer telehealth assistance modalities. The Cognitive Rehabilitation Service has been restructured to receive new patients. There was a need to develop an evaluative resource for remote patient screening. Objectives: To adapt the cognitive screening instrument Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to an informal oral interview script useful in call centers. Methods: Adaptation of the 11 domains of the MMSE that were converted into informal questions, eliminating the need to apply it according to routine methodological rigor. We opted for colloquial oral language, necessary for the referred telemarketing, making it easier to screen patients using technological resources incorporated from mobile phones and videoconferences. Results: An interview script was developed with 38 questions equivalent to the MMSE. Conclusion: Facing social isolation, due to the restriction of social participation to the homes of professionals and patients, provided an opportunity to innovate actions and care structures in Cognitive Rehabilitation. An adapted instrument was proposed, capable of allowing the continuity of actions, appropriate to the establishment of Telehealth, during the current pandemic.
