• Support implementation of the NSQHS Standards (second edition)
• Augment existing resources, such as the NSQHS Standards Guide for hospitals, and should be read in conjunction with these
• Provide links to further resources and examples of approaches to delivering health care to people with cognitive impairment or at risk of delirium
