What Reports are Available for MeSA?

The MeSA (AE and IE) Report Writer provides four main interpretive reports – Clinical, Standard, Detailed and Comprehensive. The reports provide progressively more in-depth interpretation and analysis of the test’s 82 scales. When appropriate, clinicians can also include an assessment of possible malingering into their reports.

REPORTS
ReportDescription
Standard
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Provides a concise interpretation of the Executive Control Quotient (ECQ), Attention Control Quotient (ACQ), and Cognitive Flexibility Quotient (CFQ) scale scores in order to help guide examiners in their interpretation of the test results. It includes the standard scale scores and their percentile rank along with a label that designates the severity of any impairment or strength.
Detailed
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Includes all the information provided in a Standard Report, as well as, providing a more detailed interpretation of the test results to help guide examiners. It includes the standard scale scores for ECQ, ACQ and CFQ and their percentile rank along with a label that designates the severity of any impairment or strength.
Comprehensive
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Provides more in-depth analysis and descriptive information about the Executive Control Quotient, Attention Control Quotient and Cognitive Flexibility Quotient and also covers all of the information provided in the Detailed Report. The effect of any sequential or perseverative errors made is also reviewed. It includes specific information regarding the possible effects of impairments identified in both tests, as well as, some suggestions for the examiner to consider in respect to possibly helpful accommodations or interventions for the individual.
Comparative
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Provides quantifiable data that can potentially be used by examiners in evaluating the effects of medications or behavioral interventions. The ability to compare two test records may also prove to be useful in examining the impact of subsequent concussions, progression of the symptoms of dementia, or the effect of neurodegenerative diseases on attention. The Comparative Report provides a targeted written description of only the specific scales that showed a significant change of eight or more quotient points (1/2 of the test’s standard deviation scale score).
ANALYSES
AnalysisDescription
Standard
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Used to obtain a quick overview of the data interpreted in the Standard Report. It helps the examiner identify how an individual performed relative to others’ of the same sex and age group.
Comparative
MeSA-AE
MeSA-IE		Provides a clear visual comparison between the quotient scale scores of two selected tests. These graphs and tables offer a quick way to review and assess any changes in functioning after treatment has been completed. In addition, it can also provide data to assess the effect of medication interventions and or changes in medication dosage levels.

Remote Testing

Need to Test Remotely?
You have the freedom to administer the MeSA-AE or IE tests at multiple locations without any additional costs using your own iPad. The MeSA remote testing feature allows you to administer and score a test using your iPad to guide you by pre-printing the test forms needed. Test data are automatically uploaded back to your PC and are accessible only from your “master” MeSA Assist station license. Data are securely encrypted, and no PHI is stored on your iPad or online.

Here’s how it works: from your PC where the MeSA app is installed, you can select the option to “Assign Remote Testing Code” and generate codes for MeSA Assist test remote administrations. Next, you need to install the MeSA-AE or MeSA-IE app (available on the iTunes store) on your iPad. You can then enter these codes on the IOS app on your iPad to administer those tests in a different location. The iPad functions to help guide you in administering and scoring the test and no external mouse is needed. Once you have administered a test, the data will automatically upload back to your MeSA PC in the office. More information on setup of the Remote Test iPad can be found on our Support site
