New Wikipedia page:

Confusion Assessment Method

Workplan:

This is a commonly used method of identifying delirium in patients and has been applied in a number of different places. Similar scores such as GCS and RASS have Wikipedia pages but this one does not yet. This fits with my interests because I am hoping to go into critical care medicine and have done research in trauma ICU patients who have this assessed regularly. I will be editing this on my own.

Parts Planned:

·      Introduction

·      Elements of the Score

·      Interpretation

·      Adaptations of the score

o   CAM-ICU

o   Nursing Home CAM

o   CAM for ED

o   Delirium Index

o   One day fluctuation scale

·      Clinical Application

Timeline:
