HELP has been working to make health systems safer and health care more effective for over two decades, preventing delirium, functional decline, falls, and other adverse outcomes among hospitalized older adults. The AGS CoCare®: HELP program ultimately promotes a growing trend toward “age-friendly health systems,” so named because they promote unique expertise on geriatrics focal points: Care for the mind, medications, mobility, and what “matters most” to patients. Join us at the AGS CoCare®: HELP Preconference and learn how to implement strategies for sustainability & longevity to ensure success of HELP in the hospital. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the importance of delirium screening and recognition; (2) assess the feasibility of the UB-CAM tool for delirium screening; (3) outline strategies for success in starting and/or sustaining an AGS CoCare®: HELP program; (4) review de-prescribing approaches for delirium prevention in hospital and long-term care settings; and (5) describe the Inter-relationship of Delirium and Dementia and the importance of delirium prevention.
