Improving delirium recognition in the acute medical unit

The aim of this project was to ensure that every at risk patient within the Acute Medical Unit was screened for possible delirium daily using the 4AT tool. This was to reduce bed moves for patients scoring 4 or more and to act as a prompt for staff to review at risk patients in their zone.
