Video Summary

The presentation titled "An Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery Geriatric Co-Care Model Reduces Time to Initiation of Postoperative Oral Narcotic Pain Regimen in Elderly Patients Undergoing Deformity Correction Surgery" was given by Owocho Odagwa. This interdisciplinary model aims to optimize elderly patients for surgery, minimize complications, and improve outcomes. The study showed that early transition to oral analgesics resulted in shorter hospital stays and better mobility outcomes for patients. The multidisciplinary approach involved various healthcare professionals. This model has the potential to save costs and improve patient satisfaction.
