The American Delirium Society: Mission

The goals of the American Delirium Society are to foster research, education, quality
improvement, advocacy & implementation science to minimize the impact of delirium
on short- and long-term health and well being, and the effects of delirium on the
health care system as a whole.
DESCRIPTION
The American Delirium Society is dedicated to advancing both basic
scientific inquiry as well as translational approaches to improving care
of all patients as it relates to delirium. This annual meeting is the forum
for new knowledge exchange between disciplines and specialties.
Delirium is a common, yet under-recognized, medical complication
in patients throughout the healthcare system. It particularly affects
elderly, cognitively impaired patients, and patients with critical, lifethreatening illnesses, including young children. Delirium presents a
potentially preventable source of morbidity, mortality and healthcare
resource utilization. Delirium is defined as a syndrome with acute onset
and fluctuation of impaired consciousness and cognition, occurring
as a direct physiological consequence of a general medical condition.
Delirium occurs in a substantial proportion of patients in critical
care settings, post-surgical units, and regular hospital and nursing
home units, and is associated with long-term cognitive impairment,
increased short-term and long-term mortality, longer hospital stays,
and institutionalization at hospital discharge. Consequently, delirium
is an important measure of healthcare quality and patient safety.
Preventing delirium is of the utmost importance. Clinicians fail to
detect delirium occurring in hospitalized patients in >50% of cases.
Under recognition of delirium is due, in part, to its fluctuating clinical
presentation and common, underappreciated hypoactive symptoms
(e.g., inactivity, somnolence). The DSM-5 reference standard for

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This activity is intended for psychiatrists, surgeons, anesthesiologists,
geriatricians, hospitalists, family physicians, palliative care specialists,
intensivists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, social workers,
psychologists, and pharmacists.
OBJECTIVES
After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the
ability to:
-Discuss new knowledge in relation to delirium science.
-Illustrate new methods of delirium detection.
-Outline current advances in the treatment of delirium.
-Name new approaches to prevent delirium.

diagnosing delirium requires obtaining collateral history from the

patients family and/or caregivers to determine if the change in
cognition occurred abruptly, and conducting a clinical examination of
the patients mental state to document cognitive dysfunction with
particular evaluation for inattention and impaired vigilance. This
delirium diagnostic process is time-consuming, requires training and
a high index of suspicion for delirium by medical staff caring for the
patient, and often falls to the consulting psychiatrist. In order to
improve the way we care for patients in the healthcare system, we
need to educate physicians from all specialties, nurses, rehabilitation
therapists, social workers and psychologists in the recognition,
treatment, and prevention of delirium.
There continues to be a great need in the professional healthcare
community for continued efforts to discover new knowledge about
delirium science and its clinical applications at the bedside. Several
of the topics will be included in the pre-conference as well as in the
conference itself.
Physicians of all specialties will benefit from attending this
conference, including psychiatrists, surgeons, anesthesiologists,
geriatricians, hospitalists, family physicians, palliative care specialists,
and intensivists, both adult and pediatric. Nurses from all of these
specialties will also benefit as will physical and occupational therapists,
social workers, psychologists, and nursing home administrators.
