Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The current standard preoperative assessment does not consider the needs of older adults undergoing non-oncological surgery. To enhance the treatment decision-making and planning for older adult surgical patients, the British Geriatric Society and the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons recommend the implementation of preoperative GA for all older adults. Geriatric assessment (GA) predicts treatment toxicity and overall mortality in older adults with complex health problems. However, in-person GA may not be feasible in several clinical settings for various reasons, including lack of training, time, or access to advanced geriatric services. These challenges can be minimized through a self-reported online GA that can be completed by patients prior to the participants' medical appointment. In a previous study, the investigators developed a self-reported online GA, known as the Comprehensive Health Assessment for My Cancer treatment Plan (CHAMP), which was used in geriatric oncology to increase accessibility to GA for older adults with cancer. In this study, the aim is to deploy the CHAMP tool to various clinics across 4 institutions and assess feasibility outcomes, as well as the efficacy of the CHAMP tool in the identification of geriatric issues and the development of supportive care.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Older adults completing the CHAMP tool before treatment decision is made
- description
- Eligible participants who consent to the study will be asked to complete questionnaires about socio-demographic characteristics, literacy, and technology comfort. Subsequently, participants will be asked to complete the CHAMP tool at home or in the clinic before the participants' medical appointment with the clinician. Next, participants will see the clinician for the consultation. Approximately one week after the consultation, participants will be asked to complete 3 questionnaires about the participants' experience and satisfaction with the CHAMP tool.
