🏥 It's important to assess for both #frailty & #delirium at the front door. 📕 Study: Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) & 4AT have complementary value in predicting hospital admission in older #ED patients 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #CFS #4AT

Delirium has a visibility problem, not just a diagnostic one. For reasons that remain unclear to me we collectively walk past by the suffering caused by #delirium without truly seeing it.

For those wondering why a simple doctor’s visit takes so long… Or why medical offices can seem so inefficient… Here’s the journey of a single patient chart… and remember only 1/3 of the quality metrics have any clinical relevance… before we’ve even had a chance to talk

The CAM-Lite: why this unofficial delirium screening tool falls dangerously short. The adoption of an unvalidated, grossly ineffective variation of the CAM - is a critical patient safety issue. Missed #delirium ➡️ worse patient outcomes. New blog - link below.

“She would lie in her bed really quietly. . . but she always had this frightened look on her face and when her family came to visit . . . they told us that . . . she felt really scared because she was seeing someone in the room with her.” #Delirium

There is still a strange unawareness & indifference around #delirium. But it's now clear that this will improve - we now see plenty of examples of positive change (see attached - *national*, whole population data). It's just a question of how fast we get to good delirium care

i'm forming a thesis that AI is increasing unhappiness in early adopters and power users but I don't have enough data yet personally i feel an overwhelming sense of urgency to build that has consumed me it's become compulsive, i feel indulgent doing anything else the ceiling

some of this is a criticism of my own human nature. it's not the AI that are coercing me outright, it's the allure of it like the ring in LOTR

“I was sitting there and just crying and crying, and my feeling was there’s nothing more I can do for him to make him comfortable. It was just totally heart breaking to watch him those last nights.” Family member on #delirium
