Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase II trial investigates how easy it is to incorporate a nursing led geriatric assessment screening tool into a busy oncology practice, in order to identify at-risk older adults being evaluated for cancer treatment. This screening tool may help identify at-risk patients who can be referred for more in depth assessment, allowing for the creation of an individualized treatment plan that puts the patient's safety and personal goals as a priority.

- description
- PHASE I: Registered Nurses receive training on how to administer the G8 screening tool utilizing an Epic flowsheet to patients using a self-directed education module and by direct assessment by a geriatrician. PHASE II: Patients complete the G8 screening tool questionnaire over 10 minutes as part of their standard initial assessment, and their answers are entered into their EHR flowsheet. Patients who score =\< 14 on the G8 are referred for a CGA at SAOC, and these patients and their medical oncologists are made aware. Within 2 weeks of the initial screening, the results are communicated with the patient and medical oncologist at a 2-hour SAOC visit. Patients with a score of \> 15 on the G8 are made aware of their results without any referral generated.
