ABSTRACTThe Gerontological Care Plan, originally “Plano de Atenção Gerontológica(PAGe, in Portuguese)”, is an instrument used to assistGerontology professionals in the multidimensional assessment ofthe elderly. Since its creation, the instrument has undergone a seriesof changes and in this study, we adopted the most currentversion, which has 104 questions. Taking into account the numberof questions present in the instrument, it is possible to infer thatthe manual application of the PAGe on paper demands time andattention from the professional. This paper presents a systematizedversion of the PAGe, whose main objective is to optimize the processof application and analysis of the instrument. The design andevaluation of the systematized version took place in partnershipwith Gerontology professionals, those who created the PAGe orwho frequently apply it. The results point to a positive evaluationby the specialists, especially concerning the application time andthe practicality of generating, visualizing, and analyzing the results
