About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a new implementation package can help older adults prepare for major surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the implementation package help give more people access to this resource? Participants will be in two groups: older adults who are planning a major surgery and their medical and surgical healthcare providers. The results will be compared to a historic baseline.
