Project: Diagnosis and management delirium in older patients in acute hospitals
For her CQIP project, Dr. Shazia Durrani aimed to improve the detection and management of delirium in elderly patients by 50% in an accountable care unit in Pasqua Hospital, Regina. The project created evidence-based order sets and links to a treatment algorithm and assessment tools. They used driver diagrams and a fishbone analysis to find the contributing factors as well as provided education to staff and information to patients and family members.
