"Socially admitted" patients are not to blame for inadequate home care, unavailable long-term care, or a lack of access to secure housing means managing a chronic condition in the community is impossible.

Each year on March 13, on Delirium Awareness Day, we recognize the affect delirium can have on patients, families and caregivers. Read about one Nova Scotia Health nurse practitioner’s journey to improve delirium recognition, prevention and recovery: nshealth.ca/news-and-notic…

Today is World Delirium Awareness Day! Colleagues and volunteers across the province are screening inpatients for signs of delirium. Go team! #WDAD24 @SearleDoc @HealthNS

We are hopeful that >1500 Nova Scotians in hospital will be screened for delirium today.

“Medically stable” Nova Scotians who are in hospital screen positive for delirium at least as much as medically active patients

How to construct a frailty index from an existing dataset in 10 steps. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38124255/ This is an update of what we’ve learned about constructing a frailty index since Sam Searle’s classic BMC Geriatrics 2008 “standard procedure” paper.

I’m sorry…. What is ‘Excited Delirium’. Hyperactive delirium?
Is that the coroners’ point?
Either way…. Delirium is a medical emergency

High quality research at Divisions of Neurology and Neurosurgery research day.
It was my pleasure judging resident and other learner projects

Please Be AWARE
Last year 22% of admitted Nova Scotians were delirious
>1100 screened in 1 day
1 in 4

“The introduction of frailty screening on admission has enabled our perioperative service to proactively identify frail patients who are able to benefit from a comprehensive geriatric assessment.” Benefits of CGA are risk assessment and care plans that mitigate routine hazards.

So proud of our small but mighty surgical acute frailty team! Showing how CFS scoring helps identify patients for full CGA as part of their emergency surgical admission. Abstract 86 @EBPOM #EBPOM22 world congress 2022. @NHSTayside @CPOC_News @Krockdoc

Why junior clinicians might try scoring the CFS in Emerg: 1) understand disease severity (if this confused person who can’t sit up was walking to work last week, they’re likely v ill, might well need ICU; don’t wait for low bp, low SpO2 to diagnose sepsis)
2) to help set patient-

is it feasible and worthwhile to do frailty screening via CFS in the emergency department by junior clinicians ? @Krockdoc brainstorming how will this help our ED. ? ICU referrals ? Non invasive ventilation ?appropriate Short Stay admissions @MyaCubitt @ReeDebbie @geriatricsdoc
