I've seen too many older adults "diagnosed" with #dementia and continued indefinitely on antipsychotics (sometimes for years!!) because it wasn't clearly documented on discharge the patient had acute #delirium! @DukeGeriatrics @AgingDuke

I thought I could "tell" when a patient had delirium...then I started using standardized tools (3D-CAM). Now I recommend it to anyone who wants to do better! Accurately recognizing #delirium is important!! #thisisgeriatrics
Geri Guides@GeriGuides

How can you accurately recognize delirium? Use the CAM! UB-2 (screen), 3D-CAM (diagnose), or UB-CAM app (combination)! Use these👍tools and learn delirium care @ GeriGuides.com through interactive guides! @NIDUS_Delirium @AmerDelirium @DeliriumCare @AmerGeriatrics
