Summary
This study looks at how a special program, called the Geriatric Surgery Verification Program, works at the James Cancer Hospital. The program helps doctors and nurses better care for patients aged 65 and older who need cancer surgery. It includes checking for age-related issues like memory problems, medication concerns, and social support, and making sure patients' goals are discussed. Researchers will track whether the program is used correctly and if it leads to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications.
