Abstract

Evidences linking oral frailty, frailty, and physical well-being in older adults have been well-established. For the diagnosis and management of oral frailty to be widely applied in clinical practice, appropriate reimburse ment systems should be established. Despite of these findings, which emphasize the importance of diagnosis and management of oral frailty, there is currently no proper reimbursement system in Korea. Therefore, the aim of study was to explore the strategies for registering oral frailty diagnostic criteria in New Health Technologies and incorporating them into the national insurance system in Korea.
