Abstract: The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the procedures for managing the flow of patients to intensive care units. These procedures are based on one tool: the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale. The doctors we interviewed were unfamiliar with this tool. By trying to understand these practices, our dialogical mediated inquiry highlights the importance of a medico-economic thinking based on a definition of dependency, understood as a resources consumption. Prevention of the risk of dependency is akin to care resources allocation according to the potential cost that a patient's dependency could represent for the care system or for the society.
