Souto Barreto, Philipe; Vellas, B.; Morley, J.; Rolland, Y.
- Abstract
The authors discuss how the nursing home (NH) population provides an opportunity to make advances in research on multimorbidity. They mention that current clinical practices in multimorbid patients living in NHs represent a translation from research in other populations. They state that for research on multimorbidity among NH residents high participation of primary care physicians is needed; this research will help in improving health outcomes and demonstrate the value of a specific treatment.
