Abstract

With the worldwide trend towards aging and increasing numbers of chronic diseases, the promotion of self-care as a central issue in public health is a necessity. Recently, several international entities recommend that the nursing profession rethink its focus of intervention and maximize the relevance attributed to fundamental and long-term care. The implementation of fundamental care has been associated with improved of health service security, reduced mortality rate, and hospital readmission. At the same time, for an appropriate response of the health system, it is crucial to know the care needs of people aged 65 and over, which can be met by the analysis of electronic health records.
