In Brazil, the National Council of State Secretaries of Health (CONASS) recently published the Handbook for Multidimensional Geriatric Assessment in Primary Care, which proposes the combined, large-scale adoption of the World Health Organization (WHO) ICOPE screening tool and the Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index-20 (IVCF-20) instrument to define care pathways for older people. Although there is a pressing need for initiatives of this nature, the proposed instruments have not yet been adequately validated in the Brazilian population, and their use for the purpose of establishing countrywide health guidelines appears hasty and risky. Therefore, we propose a broad, urgent debate among experts in the field with the aim of planning effective and safe public health policies for the Brazilian older population. 2024 editorial 2447-2115 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=739777769009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777769009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777769009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777769009/739777769009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777769009/movil https://doi.org/10.53886/gga.e0000155_EN en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7397 Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Brasil) Vol.18 |
