Targeting older at-risk patients with decision-making algorithms is a priority at a time when hospitals are receiving an influx of Covid-19 patients that may exceed their capacity. Such screening could likely be extended to primary care settings in order to identify older community dwellers with Covid-19, but also those experiencing the adverse consequences of prolonged home confinement. The Centre of Excellence on Longevity of McGill University (Quebec, Canada) designed a short assessment for Montreal's housebound community-dwelling older adults. It acts as the first step in connecting older community dwellers who are housebound during the Covid-19 outbreak to telemedicine.
针对有决策算法风险的老年患者是当务之急，因为医院现在正涌入可能超过其承受能力的大量新冠病毒患者。这种筛选可能会扩展到初级保健机构，以识别患有新冠病毒的老年社区居民，以及那些因长期居家隔离而遭受不利后果的人。加拿大魁北克麦吉尔大学长寿卓越中心为蒙特利尔的居家社区老年人设计了一项简短的评估。它是将在新冠病毒疫情期间居家的老年社区居民与远程医疗联系起来的第一步。
