The award supports a project to implement and improve preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessments for older adults undergoing major abdominal surgery using systems engineering and implementation science to enhance surgical outcomes and equitable access.
Description
This project aims to improve surgical outcomes for older adults through innovative systems engineering and implementation science methods, with a focus on equitable access and effective intervention deployment. The project will map the preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment (pCGA) process, co-design an implementation package, and test and refine it for future trials.
