The BRAIN Initiative
Creating Dementia and Delirium Friendly Hospitals
Introducing BRAIN (Brain-Healthy Care for Acute and Inpatient Environments) — an initiative designed to help health systems directly address the challenge of cognitive impairment.
BRAIN brings together leading hospitals to explore practical interventions for dementia and delirium in ED and inpatient settings. Successful approaches are shared through collaborative sessions and formalized. From there, health systems are equipped to transform care — translating what is already known into what is widely practiced.
