Abstract

The medical summary section (VSM) was formalized in 2011 with its content defined in 2013. In residential facilities for dependent elderly people (Ehpad), the VSM is almost non-existent and is requested by the majority of doctors who have to take medical care of a resident, often in an emergency situation. Following the health crisis and under the aegis of the regional and national associations of coordinating physicians, a working group was set up in 2021 to create a unique VSM that meets the needs of the field. This document was created and tested with very favorable feedback from users. This VSM is currently being deployed in the Ehpad of the Île-de-France region.

Keywords: Ehpad; coordinating physician; emergencies; geriatrician; gériatre; medical synthesis section; médecin coordonnateur; urgences; volet de synthèse médicale.
