Summary

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.

Self-reported online geriatric assessment (CHAMP)

The CHAMP tool is a self reported online tool that has been developed to increase patients' accessibility to geriatric assessment and improve treatment decision making. The tool includes questions about function, mobility, cognition, nutrition, social support, depression substance use disorders, and miscellaneous items. Based on usability testing in the previous phase of this study, the tool can be completed in approximately 10-15 minutes. The tool generates a summary report with recommendations for patients and clinicians.
