Implementation of WHO ICOPE post-assessment management and monitoring of intrinsic capacity deficits: A Scoping Review

This scoping review will be conducted systematically to synthesise information on the management of IC deficits following assessment in ICOPE programmes implemented across the world. A disproportionate amount of literature on IC/ICOPE has been on ICOPE Steps 1-2 and health outcomes. There’s a dearth in the synthesis of the details of Steps 3-4, including the management of ICOPE programmes that links detection of deficits to outcomes. The information could encompass interventions delivered for each IC domain with deficit, referral pathways, care plans, follow-up and monitoring approaches, follow through rates, and healthcare professionals involved in IC management and monitoring. Broadly, this project informs ICOPE implementation, and how IC deficits can be better managed across different care models and health systems.
