What this trial studies

This study focuses on using a video decision aid to assist geriatric patients with frailty in advance care planning. It aims to facilitate shared decision-making by helping patients express their medical care preferences while they are still cognitively capable. The intervention targets individuals aged 65 and older who have been diagnosed with varying degrees of frailty. By addressing the complexities of frailty and the associated health challenges, the study seeks to improve the quality of life and care for this vulnerable population.
