Problem the AI is intended to solve
Define frailty in surgical patients: screen for potential frailty in pre-surgical patients
Expected benefits
Alignment of recommended therapies with patient goals. There is a single threshold for a Risk Analysis Index (RAI) score over which severe frailty is considered to exist and that prompts clinicians to have additional discussions of goals of care with Veterans. There is no required action or mandated restriction of care.
System outputs
Risk analysis index score of frailty.
