  5. Think delirium Our Challenge.. helping staff understand and see the process of gold standard Delirium care. Testing innovative approach to delirium care throughout Scottish Acute Hospitals

  6. Listen to experience

  7. OPAH Inspection Proportionate Multidisciplinary Driven by data Report reflects overall reliability Support time for QI Appreciation of data over time

  8. Risk Factors for Delirium Multi-factorial • Advanced Age • Dementia/Frailty • Illness • Multiple Medications • Functional deficits • Dehydration • Pain and Depression • Immobility • Sensory Impairment (deLange E, et al. Int. Jrnl. Geri. Psychiatry 2013; 28; 127-134)

  9. Around a third of delirium is Preventable Care planning can have significant impact CGA Fundamentals of Care

  10. Vulnerability Use process to find Delirium Seek carer, family Early recognition Risk to those with Hypoactive delirium Think about Hospital acquired delirium

  11. Education • Triggers • Systematic approach to process • Risk reduction • Stress and Distress

  12. ALERTNESS AMT 4 ATTENTION ACUTE CHANGE

  14. Speak to families and carers

  15. What Next for Think Delirium ? • Up to 70% in patients admitted to Long Term Care. • 34% Hypoactive • 24% Hyperactive • 42% Mixed type • Substantially worsens outcomes in a population who are already burdened by functional decline • Delirium in older adults is poorly recognized and poorly noted on discharge • Over 80% were on central nervous system active drugs • Length of stay was significantly higher in patients with delirium (Inouye SK. Delirium in older persons. N EnglJ Med 2006; 354:1157-1165. deLangeE, et al. Int. Jrnl. Geri. Psychiatry 2013; 28; 127-134 Fick D. J HospMed. 2013 Sep;8(9):500-5.)

  16. Do we routinely assess risk of delirium when we admit residents to our care home? • Do staff involved in admitting residents know the risk factors for delirium? • Where do we record in resident’s notes that we have assessed their risk of developing delirium? • For those people at risk of delirium, do care staff know that they should monitor them for recent changes in behaviour , including cognition, perception, physical function and social behaviour? • If there are concerns that a resident has developed delirium, do care staff know how to request a clinical assessment?

  17. Think about vulnerability

  18. Reducing risk of falling Falls are the most common adverse incident in hospitals and care homes, nearly always affecting frail elderly people, many of whom have dementia or delirium Risk management must be balanced against the need to promote functional independence and to respect autonomy

  19. Patient reported Outcomes GAP ANALYSIS Intelligence to ACTION Staff reported Outcomes REDUCE VARIATION

  20. Framework for planned Improvement
