What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help older adults recover better at home after colorectal surgery and lower the chance of being readmitted to the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral and may not work for all patients or hospital settings.
