Abstract
Seven million patients experience delirium with on 40% receiving diagnosis in the hospital each year. Prevention strategies have been shown to reduce delirium, improve health outcomes, and decrease hospital costs but are challenging to implement in busy healthcare settings. We aim to implement a volunteer-lead program to reduce delirium, improve patient satisfaction, and increase awareness of delirium in elderly patients.
