Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Delirium is associated with adverse outcomes, including longer length of stay, higher in-hospital mortality rates, increased healthcare costs, and long-term cognitive and functional decline. This blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated the effectiveness of the Family Automated Voice Reorientation (FAVoR) intervention in reducing delirium among mechanically ventilated ICU patients compared to standard care.

Objectives

  • Describe negative outcomes associated with delirium in the intensive care unit.
  • Explain why listening to a scripted recorded message from a family member might reduce a patient’s risk of delirium.
  • Compare the delirium results of the intervention group with the results for the group who received usual care.
