Implementation Pilot of Preoperative CGA Before Major Surgery
This study is testing a new "Implementation Package for CGA" to help more older adults get a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) before major surgery. A CGA is a way to check an older person's overall health before an operation. The study wants to see if this package, which includes easier referral processes and education for doctors and staff, can increase how many eligible patients receive a CGA and how many surgeons use it. You could be eligible if you are an adult aged 80 or older scheduled for elective inpatient major surgery, or a healthcare provider working with such patients. The study will compare its results to past data.
