Conditions
Summary
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.

Interventions
The Implementation Package will include streamlined referral processes and education for surgeons and staff about the new processes. These strategies will be applied after surgery is ordered to help increase the reach and adoption of the CGA.
Routine care may or may not include the use of the CGA before surgery. The use of CGA in clinical care is up to the medical and surgical healthcare providers.
