Assessment of delirium in hospital for people with dementia

Assessment of delirium in hospital for people with dementia The National Audit of Dementia (NAD) is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership to examine aspects of care received by people with dementia in general hospitals in England and Wales. In addition, NAD provides national and local reports to support hospitals to identify areas for quality improvement and share good practice, helping to improve outcomes for patients. This spotlight audit on delirium has been carried out to look in more detail at an area where hospitals have seemed to be underperforming and to clarify inconsistencies in the data. Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership
