Ward 72

We are a dynamic 26 bedded assessment unit based at the WGH. We are an enthusiastic team, committed to deliver person centred care for all of our patients 🥰

Our awesome nursing team @Ward72WGH have followed in the footsteps of @wardd27WGH & having created a strong culture for #change, tested 'next time obs due boards' outside patient rooms. This has seen them improve their day frequency by 22%, recognising deterioration earlier!🌟💙

🚨Highly Recommended Tool🚨 The 4AT is a simple and short (<2 min) delirium detection tool designed for easy and effective clinical use. It does not require special training. https://t.co/IVnyK5P2oO

The movement to improve emergency department care for older adults began in the early 1990s when emergency providers recognized that older adults need to be treated as a distinct population in need of unique evaluation and treatment. Read the history here: https://t.co/pPeLp0iL3q

Many older patients are in the ED not because of dementia but with dementia. This implementation toolkit contains resources, tools & links to evidence that can help you make changes in your ED to provide better care for those patients. Download it here: https://t.co/4GmmdfaVGc
