Summary
The aging population presents challenges for healthcare, particularly in maintaining the functional independence of older adults. The Decision Support Tool for Functional Independence was developed to identify declines in functional independence and promote collaboration between healthcare professionals. The DST-FI is specifically designed to support interprofessional collaboration between medical and social care providers, such as GPs, physiotherapists, nurses, and social workers. This study examines the barriers and facilitators to implementing the tool in primary care.
