Summary
The goal of VA's RR\&D office is to maximize functional recovery. This proposal will allow the investigators to test an intervention that combines the fundamentals of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with state-of-the-art nutritional support and innovations in care such as telehealth and the use of activity trackers to optimize patients before high-risk surgery. This intervention has the potential to not only reduce complications and hospital readmissions, but also to maximize functional recovery and quality of life for thousands of Veterans undergoing high-risk surgery every year. Furthermore, the proposal is the first step in the design and implementation of prehabilitative services for Veterans living in rural areas and those with inadequate support or transportation.
