Advancing a patient-centered and holistic approach for older patients with frailty in a vascular surgical department: a quality improvement initiative
The GTF initiative embedded geriatric principles into VSD, improving patient-centered care for older patients with frailty. While challenges remain, the intervention demonstrates potential for sustainable improvements in non-geriatric departments. Tailored approaches and strong collaboration are essential for successful implementation.
