QUESTION ASKED: Can a tablet-based Geriatric Assessment (GA) that provides real-time results be incorporated into clinical workflow for routine use in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Successful enrollment and completion of 165 GAs indicates feasibility of using a tablet-based modified GA in clinic for older adults with MM. High satisfaction was reported by patients who generally completed the survey unassisted. Providers reported that a brief review of the GA results influenced their treatment recommendations for most patients, including a treatment change for many patients, particularly in the intermediate fit group, where it can sometimes be particularly challenging to select the most appropriate treatment and balance efficacy with toxicity.
