Frailty is a state of diminished physiological reserve and can be assessed using the frailty index. Early management of frailty is crucial for preventing adverse outcomes. Intended for assessing home-living older adults, the initial release of the eFI-CGA software was prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
In addressing the increased need of virtual assessment, the eFI-CGA was upgraded to version 3.0. In this paper, we introduce the updated electronic frailty assessment tool, reporting the newly developed features and validating its use.
End-user experiences with the previous versions are discussed. The updated features include a search function to resume disrupted assessments. The improved user interface enabled clinicians to record care management details.
This study represents an example of software solutions in moving from disruption to transformation, benefiting healthcare for older adults during this challenging time.
衰弱是一种生理储备减少的状态,可使用衰弱指数进行评估。早期管理衰弱对于预防不良后果至关重要。eFI-CGA软件的初始版本旨在评估居家生活的老年人,早于2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行。
为满足虚拟评估日益增长的需求,eFI-CGA升级到3.0版本。在本文中,我们介绍更新后的电子衰弱评估工具,报告新开发的功能并验证其用途。
讨论了终端用户对先前版本的体验。更新的功能包括用于恢复中断评估的搜索功能。改进后的用户界面使临床医生能够记录护理管理细节。
本研究是软件解决方案从混乱转向变革的一个例子,在这个充满挑战的时期为老年人的医疗保健带来了益处。
