Objective:
To examine geriatric-specific outcomes following implementation of a multispecialty geriatric surgical pathway (GSP).
Background:
In 2018, we implemented a GSP in accordance with the proposed 32 standards of American College of Surgeons’ Geriatric Surgery Verification Program.
Methods:
This observational study combined data from the electronic health record system (EHR) and ACS-National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) to identify patients ≥65 years undergoing inpatient procedures from 2016 to 2020.
GSP patients (2018–2020) were identified by preoperative high-risk screening. Frailty was measured with the modified frailty index.
