Abstract

Screening with the step 1 tool is the principal modality of entry into the ICOPE program. This preliminary step is particularly an initiative of primary care health professionals, who are daily caring older people. In Occitania, as part of the deployment of ICOPE program, nurses and pharmacists, were invited to integrate the step 1 in their practices. They benefited, if they wished, from a free webinar training.
