Perceptions of Medical and Surgical Health Care Providers Toward Orthogeriatric Care Delivery: An Exploratory Survey

Orthogeriatrics (a holistic and multidisciplinary shared-care approach for older trauma patients) is increasingly embraced as a promising collaborative care model by both medical and surgical health care providers (HCPs) to improve outcomes in this frail older population.1 We recently showed that nurse-led orthogeriatric care substantially reduced mortality, and more patients were discharged home.2 However, the optimal template how to implement orthogeriatric care across clinical practice is still a topic of debate.
