Assessment not resulting in a quantitative cut-off score |
Assessment not resulting in a quantitative cut-off score |
Not incorporated in the routine of daily practice |
Becoming aware of the seriousness of the situation of some frail older patients |
Organising home visit for assessment in the second step is time consuming |
Provides starting points for further intervention |
An implementation protocol is missing |
Normally you only focus on domains where there are problems, but now you have to check out all domains of functioning |
Contacting an informal caregiver is difficult |
It makes the GP aware of the diversity of problems that may be present in older patients |
Patients may give socially desirable answers |
It will motivate patients to consult a GP sooner |
Too little experience with frailty in older people; therefore it is hard to make the final judgement on frailty |
It enhances patient satisfaction |
