[A proposal for a health evaluation tool for the institucionalized aged based on the concept of Nursing Minimum Data Set].
This article aims at presenting a health evaluation tool for the institutionalized aged developed under the concepts of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS) divided in two sections: identification and health evaluation. It is a methodological research about the development of a data collection tool. The tool is constituted of two sections: Section A contains identification data in the admission, and Section B is the Total Assessment Form, containing data of cognitive, communication, hearing, vision, mood and behavior patterns, and physiological and nutritional conditions. It was concluded that this tool is capable of aggregating the most important data to subside nursing assistance in the care of the institutionalized aged.
