Primary outcomePrimary: Delirium — 3; 3; 1; 2 Participants — p=0.653
Summary
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial that will test whether a multicomponent decision support system will improve the postoperative environment for neurocognitive and clinical recovery in older, high-risk surgical patients. Decision support systems will be tested that provide targeted alerts and recommendations to the Hospital Elder Life Program and family members for delirium prevention.
