Role

Collaborator

Description

The aim of the present research is to; (1) document the rates of unrecognized cognitive (dementia) and psychiatric conditions (depression, PTSD, anxiety) in older adult patients who are referred to the CHHHS delirium clinic, and (2) explore patient and carer experiences of the new Delirium Clinic. Specifically, this study aims to investigate whether access to a delirium follow-up service results in better coordination of care, increased patient and carer well-being, and an improved health care system experience. 24/001391
