PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Delirium, or acute brain failure, affects up to 30% of older adults presenting to emergency care and is associated with functional and cognitive decline, increased mortality, and billions of dollars in annual healthcare costs. However, delirium is not detected in two-thirds of emergency department (ED) cases; we and others have found that a minority of EDs (~14-22%) screen older adults for delirium. The ED environment, characterized by high patient volumes, overcrowding, and parallel processing of patients with conditions of varying acuity, can represent a challenging context for implementation of processes such as delirium screening. This proposal uses an implementation science framework to identify strategies for successful implementation of ED delirium screening. The ED is an important site for evaluation of delirium in an older adult’s care trajectory, as early recognition of delirium in the ED may lead to improved prevention and treatment, downstream health outcomes, and reduced costs. The specific aims of this proposal are to: (1) use qualitative interviews with clinicians leading ED delirium screening initiatives across the United States to identify barriers to and facilitators of implementation, and (2) use rapid ethnographic assessment in one urban high-volume ED to identify strategies for successful implementation of delirium screening within routine ED workflows. Together, these aims will generate novel data about a breadth of approaches to ED delirium screening nationwide while also providing granular data about ground-level implementation. This proposal is unique and innovative in its use of implementation science frameworks and anthropological methods, which are well-suited to investigating healthcare delivery processes in complex settings such as EDs. Furthermore, unlike other ED delirium research, which focuses on validation of screening tools, this research will provide urgently needed information about strategies for successful screening implementation. Overall, this work will facilitate our long-term goal of promoting adoption and successful implementation of ED delirium screening broadly in the United States. Practical implementation strategies for ED delirium screening generated from this work will help refine our approach for a subsequent hybrid effectiveness- implementation trial, which will be the subject of the applicant Dr. Chary’s future career development award to the National Institute on Aging.

项目概要/摘要 多达 30% 的老年人因出现谵妄或急性脑衰竭而接受紧急护理， 与功能和认知能力下降、死亡率增加以及每年数十亿美元的损失相关 然而，在我们和三分之二的急诊科 (ED) 病例中未发现谵妄； 其他人发现少数急诊室 (~14-22%) 对老年人进行谵妄筛查。 其特点是患者量大、过度拥挤以及对患有以下疾病的患者进行并行处理 不同的敏锐度，可以代表实施诸如谵妄之类的过程的具有挑战性的环境 该提案使用实施科学框架来确定成功的策略。 实施急诊谵妄筛查 急诊科是评估老年人谵妄的重要场所。 成人的护理轨迹，因为在急诊室早期识别谵妄可能会改善预防和治疗 治疗、下游健康结果以及降低成本。 该提案的具体目标是：(1) 对主要 ED 进行定性访谈 在美国各地开展谵妄筛查举措，以确定实施的障碍和促进因素， (2) 在一个城市大容量急诊室中使用快速人种学评估来确定成功的策略 在常规急诊工作流程中实施谵妄筛查，这些目标将产生新颖的效果。 有关全国范围内 ED 谵妄筛查方法的广泛数据，同时还提供详细数据 该提案在实施科学的运用方面是独特且创新的。 框架和人类学方法，非常适合调查医疗保健提供过程 此外，与其他注重验证的 ED 谵妄研究不同。 筛选工具，这项研究将提供有关成功策略的迫切需要的信息 筛选实施。 总体而言，这项工作将有助于我们促进采用和成功实施的长期目标 美国广泛开展 ED 谵妄筛查的情况。 ED 谵妄的实际实施策略。 这项工作产生的筛选将有助于完善我们的方法，以实现后续的混合有效性- 实施试验，这将是申请人 Chary 博士未来职业发展奖的主题 国家老龄化研究所。
