ACS GSV Focuses on Delirium

$164 billion is the estimated annual cost of delirium in the U.S. and the average cumulative cost per patient of treating postoperative delirium is more than $20k.

  • Delirium occurs in at least 1 in 4 older adult patients.
  • ACS GSV has been shown to reduce postoperative delirium, which shortens hospital stays, reduces complications, and reduces readmissions.
  • Less delirium can lead to increases in bed space for increased access (e.g., more elective surgeries).

ACS GSV can help your hospital implement a protocol to address the potential complication of postoperative delirium that can significantly reduce hospital costs and improve patient outcomes. Fill out our form above to access a financial case study to learn more.
