Abstract
The AMP-scoring system was developed as part of a project for the production of an integrated computerized medical record for general practice (1). Its purpose is the assessment of functional status, primarily in the elderly, who are defined as persons aged 75 years and over. The assessment of functional status is particularly important in the elderly. Diagnostic assessments and decisions about therapeutic interventions require at least a possibility for improvements in health. The knowledge of functional status as a measurement of health is very important.
