General Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Elder-friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment - Implementation of an Elder Friendly Surgical Unit
The aim of this study is to examine the impact implementing an elder-friendly surgical unit has on post-operative complications, mortality and quality of life for patients ≥ 65 years old who have undergone emergency surgical care.
The investigators hypothesize that the elder-friendly surgical unit will reduce in-hospital
complications and mortality in a cost-effective manner, for this at risk population.
Specific elder-friendly interventions include:
1. Locate all elderly surgical patients on one nursing unit
2. Interdisciplinary team-based care
3. Elder-friendly evidence-informed practices including: comfort rounds with early
mobilization, delirium prevention/management, optimal nutrition and prevention of
post-operative complications
4. Early and interdisciplinary discharge management
This is a prospective, before-after study with a concurrent control group. Four senior
patient groups will be followed:
