Abstract
(en) [Evaluation of the elderly and the RAI-MDS® (Resident Assessment Instrument Minimal Data Set) system] An assessment of the different health domains (diseases, functioning, psycho-social, resources) is needed in order to oppropriately organize the care and treatments for frail elderly. The process of comprehensive geriatric assessment described here, is introduced by an example of screening tool to target people needing further assessment. The resident assessessment instrument based on the minimal data set (RAI-MDS®) is presented as a global tool able not only to assess the patient and plan care, but also to follow up for a better quality of care.
