Delirium is one of the top contributors to patient falls in the hospital. Project was to implement a delirium education, use of an appropriate delirium screening tool, and targeted interventions to help in earlier delirium recognition and decrease in falls associated with mental status for patients on a noncritical care unit. Secondary goals of this project were to increase staff knowledge and confidence with delirium prevention and management and to have an 80% compliance with delirium screening documentation. Education was conducted virtually to the nurses.
