Standardized neurobehavioural assessment tools (SNBATs) form a key aspect of diagnostic assessment for individuals with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOCs). Each SNBAT has different psychometric properties, operational definitions of behaviours, scoring systems and methods of administration. Selection and implementation of SNBATs varies within and between healthcare settings. Defining diagnostic and prognostic parameters requires collating multiple SNBAT results over time, which is problematic if several assessors and professions are involved. The Levels of Consciousness Calibration of Assessment Tools Evaluations (LOCCATE) is the first tool designed to calibrate the results of any recognized PDOC SNBAT. It also categorizes the diagnostic spectrum profile of both motor and communication responses into eight criteria of behaviours. Each criterion has up to three levels of reproducibility, ultimately producing a LOCCATE calibration score ranging from 1 to 27. A case study is presented to illustrate changes in LOCCATE scores over time, while an audit explores the tool’s clinical utility. With current directives placing less emphasis on a PDOC diagnosis, there is now a greater need for a calibration tool such as LOCCATE to identify exactly what the individual can do and create an accurate trajectory as an evidence base to support clinical and best-interest decision-making.
