Abstract
This program evaluation assessed the impact of a new, brief delirium screening tool. The aim of this program evaluation was threefold and determined 1) bedside nursing staff adherence to the new screening tool, 2) provider notification of a positive screening result, and 3) delirium order set entry. Key findings include significant increase in delirium identification, screening tool adherence, and delirium order set entry . Implications for this program evaluation include increase delirium identification and improved provider order set entry with a potential reduction in hospital length of stay and long-term effects of delirium.
