dc.description	<p class="p0"><strong>Objectives:</strong> To investigate how the request for nursing home admission is performed and whether Minimum Data Set (MDS) Home Care can contribute to the process of admission to a nursing home.</p><p class="p0"><strong>Methods:</strong> Design: Observational study. Participants: Persons on a priority waiting list for a public nursing home (n=47). Measurements: Inventory of the added information provided by the use of the MDS Home Care and an inventory by the general practitioner.</p><p class="p0"><strong>Results:</strong> People on the waiting list scored well for activities of daily living but live in a vulnerable home-care situation, caused by severe communication problems or/and pain or/and a higher level of cognitive problems than expected on regular data.</p><p class="p0"><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The admission procedure to nursing homes has to be adapted. The MDS Home Care can be an additional tool.</p>
