However, implementation has been achieved at only 200 hospitals worldwide over the last 20\u2009years. Among the barriers to implementation for some institutions is an unwillingness of hospital administration to assume the costs associated with implementing programs that service all hospitalized older patients at risk for delirium. Facing such a situation, we implemented a unique and self\u2010evolving model of care of older hospitalized patients who had already developed delirium.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DESIGN<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hypothesis testing was carried out using a pretest\u2010posttest design on program administrative data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>SETTING<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY, a tertiary\u2010care teaching facility.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>PARTICIPANTS<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 9,214 consecutively admitted older patients to non\u2013intensive care (ICU) inpatient units over a 5.5\u2010year period, regardless of the suspected presence of delirium or risk status for developing delirium.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>INTERVENTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A delirium intervention program targeting patients in whom delirium has already developed, with a modified delirium team supported by extensive workflow automation with custom tools in our electronic medical records system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MEASUREMENTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Length of stay (LOS) for delirious and non\u2010delirious patients on units where this program was piloted.
