Pragmatic Approaches to Scalable Prehabilitation

Active engagement in prehabilitation provides a sense of agency, and elderly patients who are frail and have multiple impairments are more likely to experience greater benefits from prehabilitation. It has been shown that quality of life, mental health, function, adherence to treatment regimens, survival rates, length of hospital stay, ability to perform activities of daily living, cardiorespiratory fitness, and other instrumental aspects of life improve with prehabilitation [1], [2]. Barberán-García et al [3] showed potential individual savings of €812 for a prehabilitation program that cost €389 per patient and reduced hospital readmissions. The prehabilitation plan must be timely, individualized to each patient, reproducible, feasible, and available to the masses.
