© 2016 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-2217 Journal Compilation © 2016 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Dermatologists are increasingly confronted with frail, institutionalized elderly patients, as the world population is ageing rapidly and demand for permanent healthcare institutions is growing (1, 2). Skin problems are common among institutionalized elderly people and can have a significant impact on quality of life (3–6). Furthermore, dermatological care can be challenging and the opportunity to visit an outpatient dermatology clinic may be limited within this population due to factors such as immobility, multimorbidity, and cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to investigate possible ways to improve dermatological care in this vulnerable population.
