About this audit
Background, aim and standard
Background. Delirium affects up to 30% of older inpatients and is associated with longer length of stay, increased mortality and persistent cognitive decline. Early identification through validated screening enables timely intervention with the TIME bundle and reduces avoidable harm.
Aim. To audit local compliance with NICE CG103 recommendations for delirium screening in patients aged ≥65 admitted as an emergency, using a validated tool (4AT or CAM) within 24 hours of admission.
This tool supports, but does not replace, clinical judgement. Local policy and specialist advice should be followed.
