Delirium: Delirious Elders, Implementing Reduction Interventions Using Mobility
INTRODUCTION: This quality improvement project involved hiring, training, and managing 3 Delirium Mobility Aids to implement a non-pharmacologic delirium prevention bundle package, including early mobility, on hospitalized patients age \u3e65.
Background: Delirium affects 20-30% of older hospitalized patients [1]. Patients with delirium have double the mortality rate [3], which increases with delirium duration [4]. Delirium worsens long term cognitive functioning [9,10,11,12]. Hospital costs increase by 6,900,000,000 in Medicare expenditures [7]. A single delirium episode increases total yearly costs by ~170,000 institutional grant for 12 months. The project residents reviewed applications, interviewed, and hired 3 CNA\u27s to fill the position 12 hr/day, 7 days/week. Physical and Occupational Therapy trained the aids for 3 weeks in delirium management and mobilization techniques. Data was collected in Epic flowsheetsand chart notes. Confusion-Assessment-Method (CAM) is a established delirium scoring system utilized on Medical A. Data from intervention year (2019) was compared to baseline data collected 2 years prior (2017, 2018) on the same hospital unit.
Results: Preliminary data collected at month 9 of 12: • No statistically significant change in total delirium burden. However there is a trend toward decreased delirium in prolonged hospitalization (measured after day 4). For these patients with LOS \u3e 6 days, there was a 4% reduction in late-stay delirium compared to 2018 and 10% from 2017. • 7.5-13% more patients were completely delirium free after day 4 • Length of Stay (LOS): no significant change (5.5 days) • Patients admitted from home experienced a 4% increase in discharge to home (rather than care-facility) approaching near significance (p-value 0.06). • There was a trend toward reduction in hospital falls: 2017-33. 2018-29. 2019 (present)-19, projected to reach 25 by year’s end. • Press-Ganey patient satisfaction scores remained stable.
Conclusion: Non-pharmacologic multicomponent prevention protocols, which include mobilization, implemented by specialized CNA’s, are a potentially viable treatment of delirium in elderly patients with prolonged hospitalization. This may increase rate of discharge to home, without worsening falls, LOS, or patient experience, and has a cost-savings benefit.https://digitalcommons.psjhealth.org/psv_internal/1004/thumbnail.jp
