title: Factors influencing the implementation of a point-of-care screening tool for delirium.
abstract: Given the ample evidence delirium in hospitalized older adults is underdiagnosed and not recognized by nurses up to 85% of the time, interventions are needed at the point of care to assist nurses in recognizing delirium. In this qualitative study, factors that might influence the implementation of a point-of-care screening tool for delirium were examined.
