This research aims to enhance the identification and coding of frailty in primary care settings.
Conducted whole team training for nurses, GPs, and Health Care Assistants.
Incorporated Rockwood Clinical Scale scoring into chronic disease reviews for patients over 80.
Implemented alerts in the clinical system to track frailty scores.
Frailty coding improved from 24.3% in 2021 to 90.1% by 2025 for patients over 80.
Data completeness in frailty recording rose from 66% in 2023 to 90% in 2025.
Neighboring practices showed a smaller increase in frailty recording without the new approach.
