OCS-Plus vs Orpington Prognostic Scale Usage & Stats
OCS-Plus provides health professionals with a brief cognitive assessment focussed on memory and executive attention. OCS-Plus was developed by the Translational Neuropsychology Research Group at the University of Oxford. The tool has been standardised, normed and validated (Demeyere et al 2021). The tool is currently undergoing further research for validity of use in specific clinical groups.
The tool is not for self-assessment. Instead, a health professional assessor administers the screen to respondents to investigate domain-general cognitive impairments, with a specific focus on memory and executive attention. The tool contains multiple easy to administer tests and instructions are provided for each test. Normative data is provided for three age groups : under 60, between 60 and 70, and older than 70 and respondent performance is automatically compared to established normative cut offs.
In order to activate the app for use, registration is required. There is no cost for the standard app version where data is not uploaded. Where data upload is required, an administration fee, as well as a collaboration agreement and datasharing agreement is required to be put in place.

INTRODUCTION:
From the creators of the original iOS Clinical Diagnosis App range comes the new and improved Orpington Prognostic Scale (OPS) - the premier assessment tool for determining the severity of a Stroke.

Akin to other Doctot products, the two gold standard care pathways within this App (i.e. the OPS and the Abbreviated Mental Test Score) are presented in a "wizard" format, which quickly and intuitively guides the user through the various steps that are involved.
To assist the Medical Practitioner, the scales have not only exact Scoring systems (with accompanying Alerts, Advice and Suggestions) but comprehensive Information sections that provide relevant background details.
A pioneering Best Practice Points System, as well as innovative Slider, Camera, Notepad and Shake-to-Reset functionality are also contained within.
