Geriatrician perspectives on perioperative care: a qualitative study.
Janani ThillainadesanJesse JansenJacqui CloseSarah HilmerVasi NaganathanPublished in: BMC geriatrics (2021)
Geriatricians perceive several challenges at the system and healthcare professional levels that are impacting current development of geriatrics perioperative medicine services. Yet their strong belief that patient needs can be met with their specialty skills and their high regard for team-based care, has created opportunities to implement innovative multidisciplinary models of care for older surgical patients. The barriers and evidence gaps highlighted in this study may be addressed by qualitative and implementation science research. Future work in this area may include application of patient-reported measures and qualitative research with patients to inform patient-centred perioperative care.
