Improve the Patients’ Recovery by Engagement and Partnerships with Family- CaregiveRs to End Delirium (iPREPARED) – A Feasibility and Acceptability Study (iPREPARED) Rochester, Minn.
Patients who are prepared and are more aware of what to expect during their hospitalization will experience less acute confusion and rate the confusion they do experience as less distressful.

This study aims to:
1. Determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the iPREPARED intervention for use by older hospitalized adults 60 years of age or older and their caregivers.
2. To estimate the effect size needed to reduce the incidence of delirium in participants using the iPREPARED intervention.
3. Identify patient-caregiver reported strategies to improve the usability of the iPREPARED intervention.
