000043376 520__ $$aUsing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model as a framework, the knowledge gap of geriatric frailty awareness warrants questioning and standardization in clinical practice. Evidence suggests that early identification of frail geriatric patients is required to anticipate the management of chronic conditions and discuss goals of care, while attending to acute trauma needs as suggested by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) directives for geriatric Trauma Quality Improvement Project (TQIP) Guidelines. The trauma department (TD) where this quality improvement (QI) project took place has seen a rise in geriatric trauma and the complexity of care for this population. Currently, providers lack the knowledge to assess geriatric trauma frailty, leading to non-standardized care. The aim of this QI project was to create an educational presentation on the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to improve provider knowledge on geriatric frailty and implement this assessment into the electronic health record (EHR).
