I thought I could "tell" when a patient had delirium...then I started using standardized tools (3D-CAM). Now I recommend it to anyone who wants to do better! Accurately recognizing #delirium is important!! #thisisgeriatrics

Documenting and classifying #delirium is vital b/c it tells others the patient’s mentation is 🚫at baseline (and why). This guides (pun intended) acute and follow up care. geriguides.com - See how geriatricians approach delirium in our free interactive guide!

I've seen too many older adults "diagnosed" with #dementia and continued indefinitely on antipsychotics (sometimes for years!!) because it wasn't clearly documented on discharge the patient had acute #delirium! Duke Geriatrics Duke Aging Center

More fractures occur in 'osteopenia' than in 'osteoporosis' on DXA! A fragility/osteoporotic fracture means #osteoporosis has been diagnosed, even if the DXA scan shows osteopenia! See the FREE interactive guides at geriguides.com! Duke Geriatrics Osteoporosis IOF

👏 Medicine is all about finding the right treatment for the right condition. In delirium, the simple things are >>> better than antipsychotics
