Round 1 of our delirium audit was a huge success in terms of the efforts of our collaborators! We were able to screen and assess 1507 patients across 45 UK hospitals for evidence of delirium on March 14th 2018. Thank you to all who helped with this audit! Unfortunately, the results of the audit were less promising, with only 27% of patients screened for delirium by the usual care team prior to our assessment. Of those who had delirium, only 34.9% was recognised, and only 26.6% documented on discharge summaries - clearly we have a long way to go!

​

We are planning a full re-audit (Round 3) on March 13th 2019 using the same methodology as Round 1, but in the interim, Round 2 is NOW OPEN! We are using retrospective methodology for Round 2 to give people a bit more time. This should also mean that we can look at the impact of recognition on outcomes - if we can show that this is a problem, then we can increase the drive for changes in healthcare policy to promote recognition!
