The Delirium working group is creating a special indicator to be a visual display to all KGH health care staff that their patient is a possible high risk of getting hospital acquired delirium. This indicator will make it easer for staff to take precautions to hopefully eliminate the patients risk of acquiring delirium by following specific standards. We are hoping to have a patient and / or family member engage in this work to allow us to focus on what is important to patients and families in relation to delirium.

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
