The VICTORY Trial: Virtual, Innovative, Postsurgical Care To Optimize Return Home for Older People With frailtY

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Surgery, Frailty

In brief

Canadian hospitals continue to struggle with severe emergency department and hospital bed capacity shortages. Maximizing bed availability and minimizing emergency department and urgent-centre visits by providing patients with alternative options to care is an important part of the solution. Surgical patients with frailty are at high risk of requiring subsequent acute-hospital care. The VICTORY trial will answer an important question that will inform how to improve care for surgical patients with frailty by determining the effect of virtual care with CloudDX technology compared to standard care to see if it can result in an increase in the number of days alive and at home that older people with frailty experience after planned surgery.
