        @lustbader Don't agree - basics like good #delirium care not done. Can't just blame "the system"; sometimes it's culture.

        I see culture & system as one. Both flawed. Need paradigm shift for better #delirium & overall care.

        Agree with this; part of this should involve system changes, eg. mandatory #delirium detection.

        this made me think of genetics sequencing via children's chewable vitamins. Not what was meant, I know, but made me laugh.
