“…An electronic GA that can be self-administrated by older adults and their caregivers may make GA more accessible to more older adults with cancer. While several electronic GAs have been developed and shown to be feasible [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], there are currently no guidelines on what is recommended for an online GA. To facilitate implementation of an electronic GA that includes recommendations for clinicians across Canada, we conducted a modified Delphi panel study. The aim of the Delphi panel was to reach a consensus on an online GA in terms of what assessment tools and what management recommendations (for when the assessment shows a geriatric issue) should be included, with at least one assessment and one recommendation per GA domain.…”

Background: There are no guidelines available for what assessment tools to use in a patient’s self-completed online geriatric assessment (GA) with management recommendations. Therefore, we used a modified Delphi approach with Canadian expert clinicians to develop a consensus online GA plus recommendations tool. Methods: The panel consisted of experts in geriatrics, oncology, nursing, and pharmacy. Experts were asked to rate the importance and feasibility of assessments and interventions to be included in an online GA for patients. The items included in the first round were based on guidelines for in-person GA and literature review. The first two rounds were conducted using an online survey. A virtual 2 h meeting was held to discuss the items where no consensus was reached and then voted on in the final round. Results: 34 experts were invited, and 32 agreed to participate. In round 1, there were 85 items; in round 2, 50 items; and in round 3, 25 items. The final tool consists of fall history, assistive device use, weight loss, medication review, need help taking medication, social supports, depressive symptoms, self-reported vision and hearing, and current smoking status and alcohol use. Conclusion: This first multidisciplinary consensus on online GA will benefit research and clinical care for older adults with cancer.
