Intervention(s)
Group 1: Pre-intervention group (control group) = measurement of prevalence and incidence of delirium (without Intervention)
Group 2: Intervention group = Measurement of the effect of a systematic, daily, interprofessional exchange on the prevalence and incidence of delirium.
Within the framework of this exchange, any changes and signs that may indicate a delirium are discussed and the consequences of action derived from them for the individual case are coordinated on an interprofessional basis.
Primary Outcome(s)
Aim: Further development of interprofessional teamwork. T0= before the intervention phase (03(2019); T1= after the intervention phase 11/2019 using the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS-II).
Secondary Outcome(s)
Collection of primary endpoints of delirium-incidence and prevalence by secondary analysis of routine clinical data of each included patient treated in acute-geriatric ward in the pre-intervention phase (01.10.2018-28.02.2019) and in the intervention phase (01.06.2019-31.10.2019).
