Hospital frailty pathways are structured approaches to identify, assess, and manage frailty in acute care, and can potentially improve patient outcomes, but they require adaptation to the local context for successful implementation. This study explored healthcare professionals\u2019 perspectives on implementing a frailty pathway in a tertiary acute-care hospital in Singapore.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative study was conducted using focus group discussions with healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines involved in older adult care at a tertiary hospital.

Facilitators included the perceived credibility and compatibility of the frailty pathway, supportive leadership and teams, tailored staff education, dedicated infrastructure, recognition of frailty as a growing population need, caregiver involvement, community partnerships, interdisciplinary collaboration, and availability of financial resources.
