What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • in-person geriatric co-managementOther

    The geriatrics service sees these patients for at least 2 postoperative days, if deemed clinically necessary by the geriatrician. During the inpatient hospital course, the geriatrics service will ensure the execution of preoperative recommendations and will discuss with the surgical team, who will act as a primary team, any additional recommendation in order to improve postoperative care. "In-person" geriatric consults to be done via telemedicine due to the current pandemic and consideration for patient safety.

  • automated geriatric co-managementOther

    Following completion of the eRFA, the summary of impairments as well as the recommendations generated by the study team (hard-copy or email) will be provided in real-time to the surgery team for their attention.
