Reduce morbidity and mortality
Reduce number of re-admissions
Maintain or strengthen the patients functionality, musclestrength and condition
Strengthen intersectional collaboration on the patient
Optimise rehabilitation following discharge from hospital

Achievements

Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre were the architects and implementors of the Fast surgery procedures. The evidence-based surgical care and the evolution of fast-track surgery have now been implemented at several hospitals around the globe.

What is going on

Several studies are ongoing to acquire data - we are focusing on questioneres, hospital journals and register data to identify pitfalls in current care and treatment programs.

Visions

To implement new evidence-based methods for optimizing treatment and outcome for elderly patients by
1) Improving the nutritional condition
2) Improving the physical condition
3) Increase focus on - and treatment of - co-morbidities
