What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of a self-reported online geriatric assessment tool called CHAMP to improve preoperative evaluation and care planning for older adults aged 70 years and above undergoing non-cancer related surgery. The study aims to address the lack of tailored assessments for this population, as current standard preoperative evaluations often overlook important health and functional issues common in older adults. The CHAMP tool was developed to increase accessibility to geriatric assessment and assist clinicians in identifying geriatric issues and planning supportive care. Participants in this study will complete the CHAMP tool either at home via the internet or in clinic using an iPad before their medical appointment. The tool covers multiple health domains such as function, mobility, cognition, nutrition, social support, depression, and substance use, and takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After the participants fill out the tool, results are shared with their clinician to inform treatment decisions. Surveys will assess satisfaction with the tool from both patients and physicians. Throughout the study, participants will provide information about their demographics and comfort with technology, complete the CHAMP tool before consultation, and then attend their clinician appointment. About one week after the consultation, participants will complete questionnaires regarding their experience with the CHAMP tool. Researchers will measure the completeness and time taken to fill out the tool, satisfaction levels, changes in proposed treatment plans, and supportive care strategies. The study will help determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the CHAMP tool in improving preoperative care for older surgical patients.
