The 'Health check for 65+' is provided by the Andalusian health service's primary care centres throughout the region of Andalusia. The initiative's goal is to facilitate the early detection and prevention of frailty in older people by implementing care plans and interventions chosen based on tests, questionnaires, and functional performance assessments, in order to help older people improve and maintain their independence and quality of life.

The initiative was proposed in collaboration with the Andalusian health service and two scientific societies that provided evidence for the programme. These scientific societies take a multidisciplinary approach to family medicine and family and community nursing, including nurses and social workers. The introduction of new standardised tests that reduce variability, the periodic assessments following pathway design, the detection of early warning signs, and the overall satisfaction of the population have all been successful elements of the initiative.

The overall goals are to detect early warning signs of health problems in people 65 and older, as well as to implement evidence-based health promotion and fragility prevention measures to improve older people's independence, health, and quality of life.

Specific goals include: identifying and registering people aged 65 and older who live in Andalusia; categorising people's level of independence; identifying health problems and care needs; improving co-ordination mechanisms between care professionals and primary care centres; and improving access to primary care for the target population.
