[Indication procedure: how difficult we make things!]

The Interim Advice of the Centrale Raad voor de Volksgezondheid, Concerning the procedure of indication in nursing homes, is directed at coordination with existing admitting procedures in homes for the elderly, but it does not take into consideration the differences between both provisions. The advice disregards the, in the meantime growing, practice of a geriatric examination which is closely connected to admission in nursing homes.
