TL;DR: Overall priorities, regardless of theme, included improving patient-clinician communication, fostering engagement and community outreach by using technology, improving care at facilities with a higher proportion of minority patients, evaluating the longer-term effect of acute intervention and rehabilitation support, and improving patient centeredness by identifying expectations for recovery.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “informed consent” that allows for informed decision-making in the selection of patients for surgery and examines its applications in the context ofgeon general practice.

TL;DR: The sparse evidence regarding interventions to introduce or improve palliative care for surgical patients is further limited by methodologic flaws and Rigorous evaluations of standardized palliatives care interventions measuring meaningful patient outcomes are needed.

TL;DR: Surgical patients would likely benefit from early palliative care delivered alongside surgical treatment to promote goal-concordant decision making and to improve patients’ physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being and quality of life.

TL;DR: The initiation of mandatory geriatric consults on the authors' trauma service was associated with improved advance care planning and increased multidisciplinary care and Ensuring involvement of geriatricians can aid in reducing adverse outcomes among geriatric trauma patients.
