Improving care of people with cognitive impairment in hospital Case identification is critical We need to identify patients with delirium and dementia Let s select best of breed screening tools Who to complete? What about nurses? Yes good idea it only will need 5-10 minutes Introduce a CAM and AMT into the nursing intake protocol 4
Wait a minute There are other critical geriatric syndromes and functional issues that we should identify Undernutrition Depression ADL impairment And of course there are risks to be identified Falls Pressure ulcer Let s search the literature for best of breed diagnostic and risk screening tools 5
This will need a meeting or two Let s create a TWO PIZZA ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Organise the key stakeholders with Pizzas Select best of breed screeners Fill in the gaps with some items we make ourselves Reduce the font size to keep it to less than 4 pages to minimise the workload for nurses Present the product to key stakeholders over PIZZA MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 6
A Compilation Assessment System The Data Items CAM AMT Hamilton DRS MNA Waterlow Katz ADL FRAT Various fillers to meet nursing requirements The Result Inconsistent scoring methods Item duplication Training challenges IT unfriendly Significant documentation burden Poor compliance 7
interrai Design Principles Build assessment systems from the ground up Fit for purpose for each clinical context Standardised item design Collect data once and use for multiple purposes Share core items and scalar measures across settings Design for the digital era Robust item and application testing across multiple nations 8
