Abstract
Older adults can suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, which can make them dependent on family members or trained personnel in geriatric centers. In this work, we aimed at identifying the main information elements needed for decision making in geriatric centers. We present the results of a qualitative study using grounded theory as the analytic lens for a contextual study carried out with workers of a geriatric center. The main contribution of this paper is a set of information elements that are needed for different types of decisions taken at a geriatric center. The results of this work can be used for designing better interfaces for the decision making support in geriatric centers.
