The VICTORY Trial: Virtual, Innovative, Postsurgical Care To Optimize Return Home for Older People With frailtY
Sponsor: Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
Summary
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.

Interventions
Virtual care
Through Cloud DX, intervention group participants will receive: Remote Automated Monitoring: measurement of: blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, temperature and weight. Frailty-tailored daily symptom survey: The recovery survey consists of questions related to infection, bleeding, pain, appetite, dehydration, appetite, syncope and falls. The tablet will prompt the participant to complete a Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living (IADL) survey. The FAM-CAM survey will also be pushed by Cloud DX to be completed. Virtual RN assessment: a virtual RN assessment will be scheduled at a minimum of every 2 days for the first 7 days. The virtual RN will also perform the 4AT Delirium Assessment. Medications: the virtual RN will undertake medication review and reconciliation. In addition, they will provide counselling regarding analgesic support and monitor for drug interactions.
