When assessing someone who may exhibit signs of one, or all three of the conditions, delirium, depression, and dementia, it can be difficult to determine what changes can be made and what tools to use for screening. Each of the three Ds has a unique onset, duration, impact on alertness and arousal, as well as orientation and possible causes and treatment recommendations. This session will help providers recognize and respond more accurately to reduce non-helpful hospitalizations, delays in medical attention for acute illness, non-treatment of treatable conditions, and premature discharge of residents who might be able to stay in the community.
